Care home hog roast for your care home event in Fortis Green
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. For milestone days for the home and day centre get-togethers, we can cook roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and new potatoes for your residents.
For a care home in Fortis Green, a corner of the garden or car park normally works, as agreed with the manager. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:

- Which meats and sides you choose
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Your questions about a hog roast day in Fortis Green
Can you do a hog roast in Cherry Tree Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Fortis Green?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. By late September, the light in Fortis Green goes at about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
