Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Count residents who need an alternative
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Chicken can be added.
What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your residents, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In summer, Totteridge has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
