About our care home hog roast in Lower Clapton
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear and away from opening windows. We’re often asked to cater seasonal events and garden fêtes, with apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes.
Around Lower Clapton, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we agree access and timings with the home first. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:

Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
- The address or postcode
Send us the date, the address or E5 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.

What else we do in Lower Clapton
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Approval from the home
- A spot that keeps access clear
- Someone to meet us
As a London location, Lower Clapton 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
