How our care home hog roast works in Plaistow
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, lunch or mid-afternoon. We serve roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for home anniversaries and retirement housing events.
Around Plaistow, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we agree access and timings with the home first. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Plaistow
There is no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
- The date and time of year
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- What the outdoor space is like
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your care home event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Ask about china.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Late May in Plaistow has light until about 8:50pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
Ask for a quote
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.

Plaistow: your questions answered
Could you cook in Downham Fields?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Plaistow?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
How do you handle allergies?
You will get allergen details for everything. Stuffing usually contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can families and staff join in?
Families and staff are welcome.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
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.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Flat ground in the grounds
- Someone to meet us
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
Plaistow is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
