Care home hog roast in Lessness Heath, carved to order
Summer fêtes, open days and family days at care homes in Lessness Heath suit a hog roast, with residents, staff and visitors eating together. We serve thinly carved roast pork, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for day centre events and care home summer fairs.
London care homes around Lessness Heath frequently sit on busy streets with tight access, so we agree access and timings with the home first. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
- Time on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The address or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rough numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Request thin slices
Your team helps residents as needed, while we serve.
