How our care home hog roast works in Wealdstone
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. For themed days and staff appreciation days, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and thinly carved roast pork and more.
Care homes in Wealdstone often have a small garden or car park, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

Wealdstone: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Wealdstone?
Wealdstone has its own station: Harrow & Wealdstone station.
Can you do a hog roast in Headstone Manor Recreation Ground?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can relatives eat with residents?
Families and staff are welcome.

Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We’ll give your team the information they need.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-September sunset in Wealdstone is about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
