Your questions about a hog roast day in Lavendon
Is Lavendon too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Lavendon close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do soft food?
We do not prepare texture-modified meals; we will work alongside your kitchen.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What allergens are in the food?
Allergen details are provided.
Care home hog roast in Lavendon, carved to order
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. We’re often asked to cater home anniversaries and day centre lunches, serving new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Near Lavendon, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
