Care home hog roast in Kings Cross
How our care home hog roast works in Kings Cross
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. We’re often asked to cater families’ days and retirement community days, serving new potatoes, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
In Kings Cross, we cook in the home’s garden or car park. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

Allergies and dietary needs
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
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Serving on plates is frequently easier.

- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel to Kings Cross
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
