What we serve, dish by dish

Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.

How we price a hog roast day
Your quote depends on:
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
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.

For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Your date and serving time

How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In summer, Buttsole has daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We clear away quietly.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
