About our care home hog roast in Holborn
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. Popular choices include apple sauce, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater day centre events and community open days.
For a care home in Holborn, a corner of the garden or car park generally works, as agreed with the manager. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Where residents need modified meals, your kitchen looks after those portions. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Your date and serving time
- Your menu choices
- Allergies we should know about
- The address or postcode
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Some residents won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
About the food
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- A spot that keeps access clear
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
Holborn is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions in Holborn
Can you do a hog roast in Lincoln's Inn Fields?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Holborn?
Frequently, 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.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Where do you cook at a care home?
Always outside, agreed with the manager.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you cover Holborn?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Holborn and the rest of Greater London included. Send us the address for a quote.
