How our care home hog roast works in West Ham
Staff thank-you lunches are another reason homes book us, served between shifts. We are often asked to cater open afternoons and anniversaries of the home, with thinly carved roast pork, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Around West Ham, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

A named contact in the home helps on the day.

Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Sign-off from management
- Seating for residents
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
As a London location, West Ham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.

What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you serve on plates?
Plates are often easier for residents.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the cooking area
- The venue or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
