Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Where the roaster can go in Burlow
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Seating for residents
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Away from opening windows
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Rotisserie chicken
- New potatoes
- Roast potatoes
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Salads
- Roast pork, carved
- Halloumi skewers (V)

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some residents won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
How we price a hog roast day
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your menu choices
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and time of the event
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.

Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. By late September, the light in Burlow goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe 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.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
