Care home hog roast for East Ham
How our care home hog roast works in East Ham
Some homes book a hog roast to thank their staff, served between shifts. Whether it’s staff appreciation days and care home summer fairs, we can cook rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and apple sauce and more.
In East Ham, care homes generally have limited outdoor space, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your residents.

What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In East Ham, December daylight ends around 3:50pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Seating for residents
- A named contact on the day
As a London location, East Ham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
