Care home hog roast in Penn Street, slow-roasted on site
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Typical bookings include staff appreciation days and sheltered housing gatherings, serving new potatoes, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers.
For a care home near Penn Street, tell us about lanes and the drive. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Penn Street questions
Which station is closest to Penn Street?
Amersham station, about 2.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Penn Street too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
For event organisers in Penn Street
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Menu choices and extras
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and when you’d like to eat
