About our care home hog roast in Beech Hill
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Whether it’s retirement community days and community open days, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, apple sauce and thinly carved roast pork and more.
Near Beech Hill, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Next to a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
Take a look at how we price and what a hog roast costs.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- Travel to Beech Hill
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
