Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A spot that keeps access clear
- Someone to meet us
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Care home hog roast for your care home event in Arundel
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. Whether it is seasonal events and day centre events, we will put together a menu of thinly carved roast pork, roast potatoes and new potatoes and more.
Around Arundel, homes frequently have a garden and drive. Let us know about the way in. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
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. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every care home event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your care home event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What happens on the day
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your care home event. In Arundel, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
