Bentley Heath questions
What’s the nearest station to Bentley Heath?
The closest is Potters Bar station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Bentley Heath?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can families and staff join in?
It works well as a day with families; just tell us total numbers.
What time do you serve?
Choose the time, and we’ll plan the roast around it.
Do you cover Bentley Heath?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Bentley Heath and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
How our care home hog roast works in Bentley Heath

What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- Travel to Bentley Heath
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Tell us who does not eat pork
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Serving on plates is frequently easier.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why us?
- An itemised quote
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-September sunset in Bentley Heath is about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
