How our care home hog roast works in Harringay
Retirement housing and day centres around Harringay book hog roast days too, for summer get-togethers and themed days. We’re frequently asked to cater open days and anniversaries of the home, serving roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
London care homes around Harringay frequently sit on busy streets with tight access, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In Harringay, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
Common questions in Harringay
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Harringay?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Chestnuts Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you serve at lunch?
Choose the time, and we’ll plan the roast around it.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
We do not prepare texture-modified meals; your team prepares those portions.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
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.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A level outdoor area
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
As a London location, Harringay is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
