Care home hog roast in Hackney, slow-roasted on site
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. Typical bookings include home anniversaries and care home summer fairs, with new potatoes, apple sauce and thinly carved roast pork.
London care homes around Hackney frequently sit on busy streets with tight access, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Hackney: care homes and access
Hackney is about 4 miles north-east of London, in Greater London. Our roaster is a regular sight at care home events around Hackney, from gardens to fields. Hackney is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like Church of St Luke, is a good occasion for a hog roast. Old photos of Old Ford Island can spark conversation during a hog roast day.
We cater care home events across E9, E8, E3 and E5 and the streets around it. Whether your care home event is on Homerton High Street, Primrose Square and St John's Church Road or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there.

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. In late May, sunset in Hackney is about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

- Count families and staff too
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.
