How our care home hog roast works in Finchley
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. On the menu are new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for families’ days and retirement housing events.
In Finchley, we cook in the home’s garden or car park, as agreed with the manager. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Where residents need modified meals, your kitchen looks after those portions. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Carved to order by a chef
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Timed around your day
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

How we price a hog roast day
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Finchley: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Finchley?
New Southgate station, about 1.9 miles north-east of the centre.
What if our house in Finchley has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can visitors eat too?
Many homes make it a family day.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Looking after everyone
Some residents won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count families and staff too
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
Your team helps residents as needed.
China crockery is available on request.

Questions to ask before booking
- A clear list of what’s included
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether plates or china are included
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Away from emergency routes
- Someone to meet us
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
As a London location, Finchley 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 you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Finchley
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)
- New potatoes
- Salads
- Roast potatoes
- Roast pork, carved
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In late May, sunset in Finchley is about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
