Care home hog roast in Ash Green, carved to order
The roaster cooks in the grounds, well away from ambulance routes. For summer fêtes and open days, we can cook halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes and more.
At a rural home near Ash Green, access matters so we can plan our route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and time of the event
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Count families and staff too

We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
China crockery is available on request.
Common questions in Ash Green
Could you cook in Aldershot Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Ash Green?
Ash station, about 0.6 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
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 time do you serve?
Choose the time, and we’ll plan the roast around it.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Next to the usual lunch, a hog roast day feels like an outing without leaving home. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. In Ash Green, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
