How our care home hog roast works in St Luke's
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. We’re frequently asked to cater days for relatives and day centre get-togethers, with thinly carved roast pork, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
In St Luke's, care homes usually have limited outdoor space, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Halal is not offered
- Request thin slices
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book our hog roast in St Luke's
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

St Luke's: your questions answered
What if our house in St Luke's has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Which station is closest to St Luke's?
Old Street station, in St Luke's itself.
Can relatives eat with residents?
Families and staff are welcome.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
How we price a hog roast day
The price comes down to:
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Season and day of the week
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and time of the event
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.

Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Sign-off from management
- Seating for residents
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
As a London location, St Luke's 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.
