Care home hog roast in Kent: what to expect

Serving times fit around the home’s day, lunch or mid-afternoon. Typical bookings include day centre get-togethers and thank-you meals for staff, with rotisserie chicken, thinly carved roast pork and apple sauce.

We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve.

We plan with your manager and kitchen.
You get a clear price.
We cook in the grounds.
Food goes out on plates.
We tidy up and go.

Cost

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, and the quote reflects that.

The nearest railway station is Maidstone West station, about 0.6 miles north-west of the centre.

Care homes across Kent

Across Kent, care homes, retirement housing and day centres book hog roast days. The Kent Downs National Landscape and the High Weald National Landscape are within easy reach of places across Kent, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events. 219 of the places we cover in Kent are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.

Maidstone: For families visiting by train, the nearest station is Maidstone West station, about 0.6 miles north-west. A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like St Philip's Church, is a good occasion for a hog roast. In summer, Maidstone has daylight until about 9:15pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.

Prices and what affects them

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

The journey to the venue
Which meats and sides you choose
Whether you want china
The number of people

Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.

What we need to know

The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:

Which meats and sides you’d like
Anything the venue has asked for
What the outdoor space is like
Allergies we should know about

If you are comparing hog roast caterers for Kent, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Organising for someone else?

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

What comes off the roaster

Roast pork

Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.

Stuffing and apple sauce

No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
