How our care home hog roast works in Tokyngton
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes, and typical bookings are for retirement community days and thank-you meals for staff.
Around Tokyngton, 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. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For a summer hog roast day in Tokyngton, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Questions from Tokyngton
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Tokyngton?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
What’s the nearest station to Tokyngton?
Stonebridge Park station, in Tokyngton itself.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
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.
How do you handle allergies?
You will get allergen details for everything. Gluten-free rolls can be provided.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. 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.

- All the equipment comes with us
- Planned to your running order
- Serving and clearing done for you

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Request thin slices
- Halal isn’t offered
- Request gluten-free rolls
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.

What else we do in Tokyngton
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
