FAQs for Albany Park
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you do a hog roast in Waring Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
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.
What about texture-modified diets?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We will give your team the information they need.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
For residents who need modified textures, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Albany Park hosts choose us
