Care home hog roast in Edgware, slow-roasted on site
The roaster cooks in the grounds, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We serve thinly carved roast pork, apple sauce and roast potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater retirement housing events and home anniversaries.
Around Edgware, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we agree access and timings with the home first. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- A named contact on the day
As a London location, Edgware is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In Edgware, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Send final numbers in good time
- Name a contact for the day
