Care home hog roast in South Tottenham, carved to order
Summer fêtes, open days and family days at care homes in South Tottenham suit a hog roast, with residents, staff and visitors eating together. We serve new potatoes, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for open afternoons and milestone days for the home.
Around South Tottenham, 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. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Common questions in South Tottenham
Could you cook in Chestnuts Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if our house in South Tottenham has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can visitors eat too?
It works well as a day with families.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you provide allergen information?
You will get allergen details for everything. Gluten-free rolls can be provided.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
We fit around the home’s routine, whether lunch or later.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Count families and staff too
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates.
Serving on plates is often easier.
