Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a normal lunch from the kitchen, a hog roast brings the event to residents. 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.
Why book with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Our staff serve and clear
- Timed around your day
- Fresh carving at the serving station

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Late May in Brookwood has light until about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
How to prepare
