How we price a hog roast day
The biggest factors are:
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to Brent Cross
- Time on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
- Roughly how many people
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: send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In late May, sunset in Brent Cross is about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Let us know about tight access

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Request thin slices
- Count families and staff too
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.

We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.

Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Where residents need modified meals, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
