Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long the roast and service take

- How many people are eating
- Travel to Little Portugal
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

How our care home hog roast works in Little Portugal
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. For care home summer fairs and open afternoons, we will put together a menu of thinly carved roast pork, roast potatoes and new potatoes and more.
For a care home in Little Portugal, a corner of the garden or car park typically works. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Clear of bedroom windows
As a London location, Little Portugal is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
