Care home hog roast for Upper Street
FAQs for Upper Street
Is Upper Street too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
We don’t prepare texture-modified meals; your team prepares those portions.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What time do you serve?
Serving time is up to you, whether lunch or later.
Where will the roaster go?
In the garden or car park, agreed with the manager.
Care home hog roast in Upper Street, carved to order
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. We are frequently asked to cater residents’ themed days and milestone days for the home, serving apple sauce, halloumi skewers and thinly carved roast pork.
At a rural home near Upper Street, access matters so we can plan our route. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- The date and time of year
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Upper Street, December daylight ends around 4:05pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Planning help
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Away from emergency routes
- A named contact on the day
- Away from opening windows
