For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Count families and staff too
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Serving on plates is frequently easier.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In summer, Upper Clapton has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Upper Clapton questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Upper Clapton?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Springfield Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, your staff can focus on residents. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
