How our care home hog roast works in Dancers Hill
Your team knows each resident’s needs, so we provide full allergen information and work to your plan. For thank-you meals for staff and community open days, we’ll put together a menu of thinly carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes and more.
Around Dancers Hill, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

FAQs for Dancers Hill

Potters Bar station, about 1.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What about residents who don’t eat pork?
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 don’t offer halal meat.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Modified textures are best done by the home; we will work alongside your kitchen.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. By late September, the light in Dancers Hill goes at about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.

- The roast starts early.

Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Halal isn’t offered
Your team helps residents as needed, while we serve.
Ask about china.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Clear of bedroom windows
- Away from emergency routes
As a London location, Dancers Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
