Care home hog roast in Belvedere, carved to order
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, well away from ambulance routes. We are frequently asked to cater days for relatives and seasonal events, with halloumi skewers, new potatoes and apple sauce.
London care homes around Belvedere often sit on busy streets with tight access, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

FAQs for Belvedere

What’s the nearest station to Belvedere?

What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For a summer hog roast day in Belvedere, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Halal isn’t offered
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
