What the cooking area needs

- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster

- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Little London questions
Is Little London too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Where do you cook at a care home?
In the garden or car park, agreed with the manager.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you come to Little London?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Little London and the rest of West Sussex included. Send us the address for a quote.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
What affects the price in Little London
We do not use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
Every care home event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your care home event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in Little London
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
- Whether plates or china are included
Looking after everyone
Some residents won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Count families and staff too
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late May in Little London has light until about 8:50pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
