Care home hog roast for Walthamstow
Where the roaster can go in Walthamstow
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level outdoor area
- Seating for residents
- Away from opening windows
Walthamstow is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Next to the usual lunch, a hog roast day feels like an outing without leaving home. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Served at the time you choose
- Sides to make it a full meal
- All the equipment comes with us

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Chicken can be added.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Walthamstow
- Crockery choices
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
