About our care home hog roast in Hackney Marshes
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, whether that’s lunch or an afternoon event. We’re frequently asked to cater summer fêtes and staff thank-you lunches, with new potatoes, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
In Hackney Marshes, care homes normally have limited outdoor space, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Hackney Marshes: your questions answered
Could you cook in Leyton Jubilee Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Hackney Marshes has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What about texture-modified diets?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We’ll share allergen and menu details.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Serving time is up to you, whether lunch or later.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
