How our care home hog roast works in Brockham
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. Whether it’s garden fêtes and retirement housing events, we will put together a menu of roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes and more.
Rural care homes near Brockham can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
How we price a hog roast day
There’s no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- What the outdoor space is like
- 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.

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.

We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
