How our care home hog roast works in Harlington
In Harlington, care homes book us for fêtes, open days and family days, with residents, staff and visitors eating together. Whether it’s family days with visitors and anniversaries of the home, we can cook rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and new potatoes for your residents.
In Harlington, care homes usually have limited outdoor space, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Winter afternoons in Harlington are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

For event organisers in Harlington
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Distance from us
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long the roast and service take
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Roughly how many people
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Ask about china.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.

The closest is Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 Rail station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
