About our care home hog roast in Bure Park
You know your residents best, so we provide full allergen information and work to your plan. For staff appreciation days and garden fêtes, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes and more.
Care homes around Bure Park are frequently in converted houses with gardens. Tell us about access. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- Travel to Bure Park
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Every care home event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your care home event: send us your details through our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer hog roast day in Bure Park, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:30pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents

- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
