About our care home hog roast in Russell Hill
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. Whether it’s staff appreciation days and sheltered housing gatherings, we can cook halloumi skewers, new potatoes and apple sauce and more.
Care homes in Russell Hill frequently have a small garden or car park, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- An activities lead or manager as contact
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- A spot that keeps access clear
As a London location, Russell Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.

How we price a hog roast day
Here’s what affects the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
