Your team knows each resident’s needs, so we provide full allergen information and work to your plan. Typical bookings include day centre events and community open days, serving apple sauce, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
In Puddledock, care homes typically have limited outdoor space, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Your questions about a hog roast day in Puddledock
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Puddledock?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you provide allergen information?
Allergen details are provided for your team to check.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What about texture-modified diets?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We’ll share allergen and menu details.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- The date and time of the event

- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
