- Time on site
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Away from opening windows
- Sign-off from management
- A named contact on the day
Farthing Street is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
