About the food
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Where the roaster can go in Eden Park
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Clear of bedroom windows
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Approval from the home
Eden Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late May in Eden Park has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Can you do a hog roast in Millers Pond?

How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

Can you serve at lunch?

Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.

- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
