How our care home hog roast works in Kingston Vale
Staff thank-you lunches are another reason homes book us, served between shifts. We serve roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and thinly carved roast pork, and we are often booked for summer fêtes and retirement housing events.
Around Kingston Vale, 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. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your residents.

How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Late May in Kingston Vale has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
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.
How we price a hog roast day
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
