Popular choices include roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and thinly carved roast pork, and we’re regularly asked to cater care home summer fairs and retirement housing events.

West Hendon: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to West Hendon?
West Hendon has its own station: Hendon station.
Can you do a hog roast in West Hendon Playing Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you do soft food?
We don’t prepare texture-modified meals; your team prepares those portions.
Do you provide allergen information?
Every dish comes with allergen information.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
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.
How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. For a summer hog roast day in West Hendon, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- 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.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Getting a price
