A hog roast compared with other options

Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
Take a look at how we price and our hog roast cost guide.
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:
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Access to the cooking area
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Away from opening windows
- A level outdoor area
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
