Care home hog roast for Isle of Dogs
How our care home hog roast works in Isle of Dogs
Serving times fit around the home’s day, whether that’s lunch or an afternoon event. For care home summer fairs and thank-you meals for staff, we’ll put together a menu of roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken and more.
Care homes in Isle of Dogs often have a small garden or car park, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. 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.

Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Compared with a trip out, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Isle of Dogs hosts choose us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Common questions in Isle of Dogs
Which station is closest to Isle of Dogs?
Greenwich station, about 0.7 miles south of the centre.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Isle of Dogs?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you serve on plates?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
What about texture-modified diets?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We will share allergen and menu details.
Planning for dietary needs
Some residents won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Request thin slices
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
Your team helps residents as needed, while we serve.

What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Time on site
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Approval from the home
- A named contact on the day
- Flat ground in the grounds
Isle of Dogs is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late May in Isle of Dogs has light until about 8:50pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Name a contact for the day
How to get a price
