About our care home hog roast in South Bank
Your team knows each resident’s needs, so we provide full allergen information and work to your plan. We’re often asked to cater care home summer fairs and retirement community days, with roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
Care homes in South Bank frequently have a small garden or car park, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, we take the cooking off your team. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

What affects the price in South Bank
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Any venue rules
- A picture of the cooking area
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- A spot that keeps access clear
As a London location, South Bank 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. By late September, the light in South Bank goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
