About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-September sunset in Westcombe Park is about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
Getting a price
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your care home event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

How we price a hog roast day
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, send us:
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Request thin slices
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Compared with a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Clear of bedroom windows
- Sign-off from management
As a London location, Westcombe Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
