Care home hog roast for your care home event in Kingsland
Retirement housing and day centres around Kingsland book hog roast days too, for summer get-togethers and themed days. We’re frequently asked to cater day centre get-togethers and retirement housing events, serving new potatoes, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Around Kingsland, 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, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your residents.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
What affects the price in Kingsland
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
To get the best quote, tell us:
- An estimate of numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a normal lunch from the kitchen, a hog roast day feels like an outing without leaving home. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why Kingsland hosts choose us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- All the equipment comes with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your residents

Where the roaster can go in Kingsland
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- A spot that keeps access clear
- Flat ground in the grounds
Kingsland 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
