What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
- Menu choices and extras
- Time on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Any venue rules
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your care home event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- A level spot in the garden or car park
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Halal is not offered
