Care home hog roast for Westbourne
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Care home hog roast in Westbourne, carved to order
For care homes in Westbourne, a hog roast day is a real occasion. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. On the menu are thinly carved roast pork, new potatoes and apple sauce, and we’re frequently booked for open days and days for relatives.
Around Westbourne, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we agree access and timings with the home first. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe 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.

What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Where the event is
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any venue rules

Your questions about a hog roast day in Westbourne
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Westbourne?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Emslie Horniman's Pleasance?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve at lunch?
Serving time is up to you, lunch or an afternoon event.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
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. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
Outdoors under cover, on a level spot clear of emergency access and away from opening windows.
Do you provide allergen information?
You’ll get allergen details for everything. Gluten-free rolls can be provided.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- An itemised quote
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Carved to order by a chef
Read our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some residents won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
