Care home hog roast in Tower Hamlets, carved to order
The roaster cooks in the grounds, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We’re frequently asked to cater days for relatives and day centre get-togethers, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and thinly carved roast pork.
Smaller homes around Tower Hamlets may only have a modest garden, so we check the space with photos first. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Late-September sunset in Tower Hamlets is about 7:00pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
