A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a normal lunch from the kitchen, a hog roast brings the event to residents. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why Burpham hosts choose us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Halal isn’t offered
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.
Serving on plates is frequently easier.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.

Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. By late September, the light in Burpham goes at about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- 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.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
