How our care home hog roast works in Harlesden
Summer fêtes, open days and family days at care homes in Harlesden suit a hog roast, with residents, staff and visitors eating together. For thank-you meals for staff and anniversaries of the home, we can cook roast potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and halloumi skewers for your residents.
London care homes around Harlesden frequently sit on busy streets with tight access, so we agree access and timings with the home first. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What affects the price in Harlesden
Things that change the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
As a London location, Harlesden 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 will advise before booking.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
Your team helps residents as needed, while we serve.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In Harlesden, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- You get a clear price.
- We cook in the grounds.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
