Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to staff cooking, your staff can focus on residents. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved to order by a chef
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count residents who need an alternative
We clear away quietly.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
