How our care home hog roast works in Ealing
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, apple sauce and roast potatoes, and typical bookings are for retirement community days and garden fêtes.
In Ealing, we cook in the home’s garden or car park. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- Time on site
- Site access
- Plates or china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.

FAQs for Ealing
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Ealing?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Walpole Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
We do not prepare texture-modified meals; we’ll work alongside your kitchen.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Winter afternoons in Ealing are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Getting ready for the day

Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Where residents need modified meals, your kitchen looks after those portions. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Carved to order by a chef
- Served at the time you choose
Read our prices page or our hog roast cost guide.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Flat ground in the grounds
- An activities lead or manager as contact
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
Ealing 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
