- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- You get a clear price.
- We cook in the grounds.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day

How our care home hog roast works in Catisfield
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. For garden fêtes and sheltered housing gatherings, we can cook halloumi skewers, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
Around Catisfield, homes frequently have a garden and drive. Tell us about access. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Is Catisfield close to London?
About 66 miles from central London.
Can you roast near the sea around Catisfield?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.

Outdoors under cover, on a level spot clear of emergency access.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some homes combine a hog roast with entertainment, such as a singer or a garden fête. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
