How our care home hog roast works in Queen's Park
Retirement housing and day centres around Queen's Park book hog roast days too, for summer get-togethers and themed days. We are often asked to cater garden fêtes and residents’ themed days, serving rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
Around Queen's Park, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. Timings are planned around your care home event, working back from when you want to eat.

Queen's Park questions
What’s the nearest station to Queen's Park?
Queen's Park has its own station: Queens Park (London) station.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Queen's Park?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Modified textures are best done by the home; your team prepares those portions.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you serve on plates?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Queen's Park, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Request thin slices
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Plan separately for halal if needed
Your team helps residents as needed.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- An activities lead or manager as contact
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
As a London location, Queen's Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why choose a hog roast in Queen's Park?
Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
