Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Where residents need modified meals, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Carved by our chef in front of your residents
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Served at the time you choose

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
For event organisers in Cricklewood
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
