Is a hog roast right for your care home event?

- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- No surprises: everything in writing

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
For event organisers in Notting Dale
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Could you cook in Emslie Horniman's Pleasance?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Notting Dale has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can relatives eat with residents?
Many homes make it a family day.
What time do you serve?
Serving time is up to you, whether lunch or later.

How we price a hog roast day
Here’s what affects the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
- Allergies we should know about
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your residents will smell it long before they see it. In summer, Notting Dale has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Allergies and dietary needs

Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.

- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
