About our care home hog roast in Bramling
Retirement housing and day centres around Bramling book hog roast days too, for summer get-togethers and themed days. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, new potatoes and thinly carved roast pork, and we are regularly asked to cater staff appreciation days and home anniversaries.
At a rural home near Bramling, access matters so we can plan our route. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your residents.
What affects the price in Bramling
The price comes down to:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Travel to Bramling
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- 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 where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In late May, sunset in Bramling is about 8:45pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Name a contact for the day
