Care home hog roast for your care home event in Woodlands
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. For community open days and sheltered housing gatherings, we can cook thinly carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes.
London care homes around Woodlands often sit on busy streets with tight access, so we agree access and timings with the home first. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- An estimate of numbers

Woodlands questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Woodlands?
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 Inwood Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about texture-modified diets?
We do not prepare texture-modified meals; we will work alongside your kitchen.
Where will the roaster go?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen and away from opening windows.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late May in Woodlands has light until about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Count families and staff too
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for halal if needed
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Serving on plates is often easier.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A named contact on the day
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- Flat ground in the grounds
As a London location, Woodlands is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
