For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
How we price a hog roast day
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
