- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Chicken can be added.
What a hog roast costs

- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week

Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

Where the roaster can go in Old Chiswick

- Away from opening windows
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- A named contact on the day
Old Chiswick is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late May in Old Chiswick has light until about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Think about shelter for your residents
