Care home hog roast in Heathrow, carved to order
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. We are often asked to cater staff appreciation days and home anniversaries, with rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and roast potatoes.
At a rural home near Heathrow, access matters. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Why choose a hog roast in Heathrow?
Some homes combine a hog roast with entertainment, such as a singer or a garden fête. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Heathrow questions
Is Heathrow close to London?
Roughly 16 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Heathrow too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What about texture-modified diets?
We don’t prepare texture-modified meals; we will work alongside your kitchen.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer hog roast day in Heathrow, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We start with the date and numbers.

- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Preparing for the day
