How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In East Village, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Organising for someone else?

East Village: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to East Village?
Stratford International station, in East Village itself.

What about coeliacs?

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Request gluten-free rolls
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Where the roaster can go in East Village
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- Sign-off from management
- A level outdoor area
East Village 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 are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
