Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Looking after everyone
Some residents won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Count families and staff too
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
Your team helps residents as needed, while we serve.
Chicken can be added.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Approval from the home
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- An activities lead or manager as contact
As a London location, Bow is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Stuffing and apple sauce
