Care home hog roast in Earlswood, carved to order

What affects the price in Earlswood
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary requirements
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Chicken can be added.

What else we do in Earlswood
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A named contact on the day
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- Flat ground in the grounds
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the roaster
- Rotisserie chicken

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
