How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. For a summer hog roast day in Chuck Hatch, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to staff cooking, your staff can focus on residents. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Serving on plates is frequently easier.
