Care home hog roast in South Acton, carved to order
Summer fêtes, open days and family days at care homes in South Acton suit a hog roast, bringing everyone together over a meal. We serve new potatoes, roast potatoes and thinly carved roast pork, and we’re often booked for themed days and summer fêtes.
For a care home in South Acton, a corner of the garden or car park typically works, as agreed with the manager. 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.

- We clear away quietly.

Planners, venues and businesses

South Acton questions
Which station is closest to South Acton?
The closest is South Acton station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Could you cook in Gunnersbury Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
We fit around the home’s routine, whether lunch or later.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Compared with a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
