About our care home hog roast in Maryland
The roaster cooks in the grounds, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear. For home anniversaries and themed days, we can cook apple sauce, roast potatoes and thinly carved roast pork for your residents.
Care homes in Maryland often have a small garden or car park, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Someone to meet us
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Seating for residents
As a London location, Maryland is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Your questions about a hog roast day in Maryland
What’s the nearest station to Maryland?
Maryland has its own station: Stratford (London) station.
What if our house in Maryland has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a normal lunch from the kitchen, a hog roast brings the event to residents. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

What affects the price in Maryland
Each price is built from:
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area

Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any venue rules

A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late May in Maryland has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
How to get a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Serving on plates is often easier.
What comes off the roaster

Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
