Questions from Water Stratford
How far is Water Stratford from London?
About 54 miles from central London.
Is Water Stratford too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Can visitors eat too?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Where do you cook at a care home?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Halal is not offered
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Next to a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Late May in Water Stratford has light until about 9:00pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
