What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Looking after everyone
Some residents won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Questions from Cockfosters
Which station is closest to Cockfosters?
The closest is New Barnet station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Cockfosters?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Where do you cook at a care home?
In the garden or car park, agreed with the manager.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Cockfosters, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Let us know about tight access

Planning help
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Away from emergency routes
- Someone to meet us
- Flat ground in the grounds
As a London location, Cockfosters 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 you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Cockfosters
What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week

- The number of people
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
