Care home hog roast for Crouch End
Care home hog roast in Crouch End, carved to order
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. Whether it’s thank-you meals for staff and day centre get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, thinly carved roast pork and halloumi skewers.
London care homes around Crouch End often sit on busy streets with tight access, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. For a summer hog roast day in Crouch End, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Let us know about tight access

Crouch End questions
Can you do a hog roast in Priory Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Crouch End?
The closest is Crouch Hill station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
In the garden or car park, in a spot you approve.
Can you serve at lunch?
We fit around the home’s routine, lunch or an afternoon event.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can visitors eat too?
Families and staff are welcome.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Compared with a normal lunch from the kitchen, a hog roast day feels like an outing without leaving home. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Clear of bedroom windows
As a London location, Crouch End 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 booking.

How we price a hog roast day
There’s no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your menu choices
