About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Venues often have 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
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Site access
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A photo of the cooking area
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Every care home event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your care home event: use our quote form.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By late September, the light in Boughton Corner goes at about 7:00pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
