About our care home hog roast in Preston
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. We serve apple sauce, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes, and typical bookings are for retirement community days and anniversaries of the home.
London care homes around Preston often sit on busy streets with tight access, so we agree access and timings with the home first. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Preston questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Preston?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Which station is closest to Preston?
South Kenton station, about 0.6 miles west of the centre.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In late May, sunset in Preston is about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
