How our care home hog roast works in Tower Hill
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. We are often asked to cater days for relatives and retirement housing events, serving roast potatoes, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
London care homes around Tower Hill often sit on busy streets with tight access, so we agree access and timings with the home first. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- A spot that keeps access clear
- Away from opening windows
Tower Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Common questions in Tower Hill
What’s the nearest station to Tower Hill?
Tower Hill has its own station: London Fenchurch Street station.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Tower Hill?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
