Care home hog roast for your care home event in East Horsley
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear and away from opening windows. We’re frequently asked to cater families’ days and open days, with rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and apple sauce.
Care homes around East Horsley are frequently in converted houses with gardens. Tell us about access. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In late May, sunset in East Horsley is about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
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. Send us your details through our quote form.

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
- Your menu choices
