Care home hog roast for Upton Park
Questions from Upton Park
Could you cook in West Ham Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Upton Park has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
Plates are frequently easier for residents.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What allergens are in the food?
You will get allergen details for everything. Gluten-free rolls can be provided.
Care home hog roast for your care home event in Upton Park
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. Whether it’s seasonal events and home anniversaries, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, thinly carved roast pork and roast potatoes for your residents.
London care homes around Upton Park frequently sit on busy streets with tight access, so we agree access and timings with the home first. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count families and staff too
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us who does not eat pork
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.

- Whether you want china

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- A spot that keeps access clear
As a London location, Upton Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. By late September, the light in Upton Park goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
