How our care home hog roast works in Crondall
Summer fêtes, open days and family days at care homes in Crondall suit a hog roast, bringing everyone together over a meal. Popular choices include roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater seasonal events and family days with visitors.
At a rural home near Crondall, access matters. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, we take the cooking off your team. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- An itemised quote
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

What else we do in Crondall
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Crondall
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a summer hog roast day in Crondall, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us a contact number for the day
