Care home hog roast for your care home event in North End
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, whether that is lunch or an afternoon event. For thank-you meals for staff and garden fêtes, we will put together a menu of thinly carved roast pork, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken and more.
Care homes in North End often have a small garden or car park, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A named contact on the day
- Sign-off from management
- Away from emergency routes
North End is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu choices
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rough numbers
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in North End
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In late May, sunset in North End is about 8:50pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Let us know about tight access
- Gather dietary requirements early
How to get a price
