A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a trip out, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why Cutteslowe hosts choose us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Our staff serve and clear
- Served at the time you choose
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
See how we price and the cost guide.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. By late September, the light in Cutteslowe goes at about 7:10pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
