Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Clear of bedroom windows
- A level outdoor area
- A named contact on the day
As a London location, Clare Market is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Care home hog roast in Clare Market, carved to order
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We are frequently asked to cater thank-you meals for staff and milestone days for the home, with roast potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and new potatoes.
In Clare Market, care homes typically have limited outdoor space, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Tell us who does not eat pork
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, please mention:
- Your menu choices
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
