Care home hog roast in North End, carved to order
Retirement housing and day centres around North End book hog roast days too, for summer get-togethers and themed days. We are frequently asked to cater open afternoons and retirement community days, with new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
In North End, care homes usually have limited outdoor space, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
Your team helps residents as needed.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
Why North End hosts choose us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Planned to your running order
- All the equipment comes with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
Take a look at how we price or the cost guide.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Flat ground in the grounds
- Away from opening windows
- An activities lead or manager as contact
As a London location, North End is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

North End questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in North End?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Which station is closest to North End?
Kensington Olympia station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Tell us the time that suits residents, and we will be ready.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Can families and staff join in?
Families and staff are welcome.
Step by step
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your residents, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Winter afternoons in North End are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
