Slow-roasted pork in Pimlico
How our care home hog roast works in Pimlico
The roaster cooks in the grounds, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear and away from opening windows. We’re often asked to cater days for relatives and open afternoons, with thinly carved roast pork, roast potatoes and new potatoes.
Care homes in Pimlico frequently have a small garden or car park, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours.

Is a hog roast right for your care home event?

FAQs for Pimlico
Can you do a hog roast in Pimlico Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if our house in Pimlico has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.

Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.

How much does a hog roast cost?

It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What allergens are in the food?
Every dish comes with allergen information for your team to check.
