About our care home hog roast in Kennington
Day centres and retirement housing near Kennington also book us, for summer get-togethers and themed days. On the menu are halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and thinly carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for open afternoons and sheltered housing gatherings.
Smaller homes around Kennington may only have a modest garden, so we check the space with photos first. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
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.

A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Count families and staff too
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Chicken can be added.
