Care home hog roast in Limehouse, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. Typical bookings include residents’ themed days and family days with visitors, with roast potatoes, apple sauce and thinly carved roast pork.
In Limehouse, care homes generally have limited outdoor space, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Late May in Limehouse has light until about 8:50pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Gather dietary requirements early
