Care home hog roasts in London
London is in Greater London. We cater care home events of every size in London. We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
For homes that welcome visitors from a church like St George the Martyr, a hog roast lunch is an easy way to say thank you. Old photos of Tower Hill can spark conversation during a hog roast day.
Care home events anywhere in CR0, E14, CR4 and SW11 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster. That could mean a care home event in a garden on Walcot Square, Surrey Square and Sutherland Square or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. London sits on or near the A2 and A10, so getting the roaster to your care home event is simple.

How we price a hog roast day
Here’s what affects the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- An estimate of numbers
- A picture of the cooking area
- Your menu choices
- Your date and serving time
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. By late September, the light in London goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Let us know about tight access
- Name a contact for the day

Common questions in London
Could you cook in Newington Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to London?
Elephant & Castle station, in London itself.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you provide allergen information?
You will get allergen details for everything. Gluten-free rolls can be provided.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- Flat ground in the grounds
- Away from opening windows
