Care home hog roast for your care home event in Barnet
Some homes book a hog roast to thank their staff. Typical bookings include themed days and day centre get-togethers, with thinly carved roast pork, roast potatoes and apple sauce.
Around Barnet, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we agree access and timings with the home first. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- Sign-off from management
- An activities lead or manager as contact
As a London location, Barnet 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 will say what we think.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
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. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Take a look at our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
What affects the price in Barnet
We do not use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
