About our care home hog roast in Gants Hill
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. We’re often asked to cater sheltered housing gatherings and milestone days for the home, serving apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and thinly carved roast pork.
For a care home in Gants Hill, a corner of the garden or car park usually works. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Common questions in Gants Hill
What if our house in Gants Hill has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What’s the nearest station to Gants Hill?
The closest is Ilford station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What time do you serve?
Choose the time, and we will plan the roast around it.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In Gants Hill, December daylight ends around 3:50pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
