Care home hog roast for your care home event in South Hampstead
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, lunch or mid-afternoon. We’re frequently asked to cater retirement community days and staff thank-you lunches, serving roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and thinly carved roast pork.

How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. For a summer hog roast day in South Hampstead, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
