Your questions about a hog roast day in Plashet
Which station is closest to Plashet?
Woodgrange Park station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
Could you cook in West Ham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can relatives eat with residents?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
We don’t prepare texture-modified meals; we’ll work alongside your kitchen.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Winter afternoons in Plashet are short, with sunset at about 3:50pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Request gluten-free rolls
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
