Care home hog roast in Hendon, carved to order
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Typical bookings include days for relatives and staff thank-you lunches, with apple sauce, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Around Hendon, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

FAQs for Hendon
Can you do a hog roast in Hendon Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Hendon has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we will 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’ll fit around changes.
Can you serve at lunch?
Tell us the time that suits residents, and we will plan the roast around it.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
What about texture-modified diets?
We do not prepare texture-modified meals; your team prepares those portions.
Can families and staff join in?
Families and staff are welcome.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count families and staff too
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
