Care home hog roast in Benhilton
How our care home hog roast works in Benhilton
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. We are often asked to cater families’ days and summer fêtes, serving rotisserie chicken, thinly carved roast pork and roast potatoes.
In Benhilton, care homes generally have limited outdoor space, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The address or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary requirements
- What the outdoor space is like
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your care home event: fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- Away from emergency routes
As a London location, Benhilton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
