Care home hog roast in Kentish Town, carved to order

Around Kentish Town, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we agree access and timings with the home first. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
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.
What affects the price in Kentish Town
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
