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. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. By late September, the light in Buxted goes at about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the 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.
