Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
How our care home hog roast works in Haverstock
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. Typical bookings include families’ days and open days, serving new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
In Haverstock, care homes generally have limited outdoor space, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

FAQs for Haverstock
What’s the nearest station to Haverstock?

Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Seating for residents
- An activities lead or manager as contact
- A spot that keeps access clear
As a London location, Haverstock is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Late May in Haverstock has light until about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
