Care home hog roast for Plaistow
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request thin slices
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
How our care home hog roast works in Plaistow
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. We’re often asked to cater themed days and retirement community days, with new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes.
At a rural home near Plaistow, access matters. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In Plaistow, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

Planning the cooking spot

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
Send us the date, the address or RH14 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
