How our care home hog roast works in Hammersmith
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, lunch or mid-afternoon. On the menu are thinly carved roast pork, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater anniversaries of the home and garden fêtes.
Around Hammersmith, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.

Hammersmith questions
What if our house in Hammersmith has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Which station is closest to Hammersmith?
The closest is Kensington Olympia station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
Outdoors under cover, on a level spot clear of emergency access and away from opening windows.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Tell us the time that suits residents, and we’ll plan the roast around it.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, your staff can focus on residents. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Planning help
What the cooking area needs
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Someone to meet us
- Flat ground in the grounds
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
As a London location, Hammersmith is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
