Care home hog roast for Ratcliff
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Care home hog roast for your care home event in Ratcliff
Some homes book a hog roast to thank their staff, served between shifts. We serve thinly carved roast pork, apple sauce and roast potatoes, and we’re often booked for summer fêtes and home anniversaries.
For a care home in Ratcliff, a corner of the garden or car park typically works. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, we take the cooking off your team. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Our staff serve and clear
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In late May, sunset in Ratcliff is about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

What else we do in Ratcliff
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- Sign-off from management
- A level spot in the garden or car park
Ratcliff 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- New potatoes
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Salads
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Roast potatoes
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Roast pork, carved
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Count families and staff too
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
