- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.

Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, we take the cooking off your team. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book our hog roast in Bellingdon

See how we price and the cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count families and staff too
- Halal is not offered
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
