Care home hog roast in Wallend, slow-roasted on site
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. On the menu are halloumi skewers, thinly carved roast pork and roast potatoes, and we are often booked for residents’ themed days and days for relatives.
In Wallend, care homes typically have limited outdoor space, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls

Which station is closest to Wallend?

Could you cook in Loxford Park?

Families and staff are welcome.
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.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
Always outside, in a spot you approve.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
A hog roast or other catering?
Where residents need modified meals, your kitchen looks after those portions. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Clear of bedroom windows
- A level outdoor area
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
Wallend 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What affects the price in Wallend
Each price is built from:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
