How our care home hog roast works in Pentonville
You know your residents best, so we follow your guidance and give you full allergen details. We serve thinly carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater home anniversaries and residents’ themed days.
Around Pentonville, 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. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Travel to Pentonville
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or N1 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Request thin slices
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates.
Chicken can be added.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
