Care home hog roast in Thames View Estate, carved to order
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. We are frequently asked to cater family days with visitors and anniversaries of the home, with rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers.
In Thames View Estate, care homes generally have limited outdoor space, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your residents.

Thames View Estate questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Thames View Estate?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Mayesbrook Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
We will serve however suits your residents.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
