Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Approval from the home
- Clear of bedroom windows
- Flat ground in the grounds
As a London location, Paddington is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: 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’ll advise before booking.

Care home hog roast for your care home event in Paddington
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. We’re frequently asked to cater family days with visitors and anniversaries of the home, serving roast potatoes, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
Care homes in Paddington often have a small garden or car park, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your residents, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In late May, sunset in Paddington is about 8:55pm, 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 carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
