- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rough numbers
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
Where the roaster can go in Custom House
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A spot that keeps access clear
- Flat ground in the grounds
- Away from opening windows
Custom House is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
