Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to the usual lunch, a hog roast day feels like an outing without leaving home. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why Broomfield hosts choose us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- No surprises: everything in writing
- We bring everything to cook and serve
Read how we price and the cost guide.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. In Broomfield, December daylight ends around 3:50pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
