Whitehouse questions
Is Whitehouse close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Whitehouse?
The closest is Milton Keynes Central station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
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.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.

- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
We set up under cover in the grounds, following your sign-in and safety rules.

What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Whitehouse, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

What affects the price in Whitehouse
There’s no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
