Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
What the cooking area needs
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Sign-off from management
- Away from emergency routes
As a London location, Ruislip 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.

Looking after everyone
Some residents will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count families and staff too
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Halal isn’t offered
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
Ruislip: your questions answered
Could you cook in Church Field Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Ruislip?
The closest is West Ruislip station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can visitors eat too?
It works well as a day with families.
Can you carve thinly?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.

How we price a hog roast day
We work out each quote from:
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
- Menu choices and extras
- Access to the cooking area
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your care home event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Late May in Ruislip has light until about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
