Care home hog roast for your care home event in Draycott
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. We’re often asked to cater themed days and garden fêtes, serving thinly carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes.
Country homes near Draycott frequently have big gardens with views, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What affects the price in Draycott
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- Time on site
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
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 the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.

For planners, venues and organisers
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.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
