Care home hog roast in Crooked Billet, carved to order
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. We serve rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and roast potatoes, and we’re frequently booked for staff thank-you lunches and day centre get-togethers.
In Crooked Billet, we cook in the home’s garden or car park. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Count families and staff too
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, we take the cooking off your team. 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.
Why book our hog roast in Crooked Billet
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Served at the time you choose
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Crooked Billet: your questions answered
Could you cook in Cannizaro Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if our house in Crooked Billet has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A level outdoor area
- Approval from the home
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
Crooked Billet is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
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.
