Care home hog roast in Staples Corner, slow-roasted on site
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. We’re frequently asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and day centre get-togethers, serving thinly carved roast pork, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
In Staples Corner, we cook in the home’s garden or car park, as agreed with the manager. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

FAQs for Staples Corner
What’s the nearest station to Staples Corner?
Brent Cross West station, in Staples Corner itself.
What if our house in Staples Corner has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
We do not prepare texture-modified meals; we’ll work alongside your kitchen.
Where will the roaster go?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen and away from opening windows.
What time do you serve?
Serving time is up to you, whether lunch or later.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A level outdoor area
- An activities lead or manager as contact
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
As a London location, Staples Corner 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’ll advise before booking.

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.

- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
