What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

How our care home hog roast works in Boorley Green
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, new potatoes and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater day centre lunches and garden fêtes.
Smaller homes around Boorley Green may only have a modest garden, so we check the space with photos first. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a trip out, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In Boorley Green, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
