Your questions about a hog roast day in Dorney
Do you come out to small places like Dorney?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast in Sutherland Grange?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Clear of bedroom windows
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- An estimate of numbers
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
