Care home hog roast in West End, slow-roasted on site
For care homes in West End, a hog roast day is a real occasion. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. We serve roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and thinly carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for anniversaries of the home and care home summer fairs.
Around West End, some homes have limited outdoor space, so we check the space with photos first. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
Questions from West End
Which station is closest to West End?
The closest is Brookwood station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
How far is West End from London?

Do you come to West End?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, West End and the rest of Surrey included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?

Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Where will the roaster go?
Always outside, agreed with the manager.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- Clear of bedroom windows
- A level spot in the garden or car park
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

About the food

Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Late-September sunset in West End is about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Think about shelter for your residents
