Care home hog roast in Gillette Corner, slow-roasted on site

What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- A spot that keeps access clear
As a London location, Gillette Corner is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
We set up under cover in the grounds, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.

Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Gillette Corner: your questions answered
Could you cook in Boston Manor Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Gillette Corner has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.
What about texture-modified diets?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We’ll give your team the information they need.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can families and staff join in?
Many homes make it a family day; just tell us total numbers.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
A hog roast or other catering?
