How care home hog roast works in Medway

The roaster cooks in the grounds, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, apple sauce and thinly carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for anniversaries of the home and families’ days.

A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day.

  1. We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
  2. You get a clear price.
  3. We cook in the grounds.
  4. We carve thinly and serve on plates.
  5. We leave the grounds tidy.

Prices in Medway

Care settings across Medway

In Medway, hog roast days suit homes, sheltered housing and day centres alike.

Gillingham: Old photos of Bishop Saltings can spark conversation during a hog roast day. For homes that welcome visitors from a church like Holy Trinity Church, a hog roast lunch is an easy way to say thank you. In Gillingham, December daylight ends around 3:50pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.

Prices and what affects them

A few things make the biggest difference to the price:

  • Distance from us
  • The serving time and how long we’re on site
  • Season and day of the week
  • The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken

Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Details that help

These are the details we need:

  • Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
  • The date and time of the event
  • Rules from the venue or landowner
  • Rough numbers

It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.

A hog roast compared with other options

Instead of organising a trip, it is easier for everyone to enjoy.

Questions to ask before you book

  • If the price includes VAT
  • The full menu and the sides
  • How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
  • Staffing on the day

Organising for someone else?

Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.

Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

About the food

Roast pork

Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.

Stuffing and apple sauce

Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.

Planning the cooking spot

Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:

  • Clear of ambulance and delivery access
  • An activities lead or manager as contact
  • Flat ground in the grounds

Medway questions

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?

Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.

What about coeliacs?

Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

What should we sort out beforehand?

Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

When should we book?

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.

How do you handle allergies?

Every dish comes with allergen information for your team to check.

Will there be enough to go round?

We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
