Care home hog roast in Whitechapel, carved to order
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. We serve apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and thinly carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for community open days and anniversaries of the home.
Care homes in Whitechapel often have a small garden or car park, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What’s the nearest station to Whitechapel?
Whitechapel station, about 0.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Could you cook in Finsbury Circus?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Where do you cook at a care home?
Always outside, agreed with the manager.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.

The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How do you handle allergies?
Allergen details are provided for your team to check.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Choose the time, and we’ll plan the roast around it.

How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. In summer, Whitechapel has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
