Care home hog roast for Battersea
How our care home hog roast works in Battersea
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. On the menu are roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and day centre get-togethers.
For a care home in Battersea, a corner of the garden or car park typically works, as agreed with the manager. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Questions from Battersea
Can you do a hog roast in Imperial Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Battersea?
Clapham Junction station, in Battersea itself.
Where will the roaster go?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen.
What time do you serve?
We fit around the home’s routine, whether lunch or later.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to staff cooking, your staff can focus on residents. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Request thin slices
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Chicken can be added.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. For a summer hog roast day in Battersea, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.

If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
