How our care home hog roast works in East Street
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, lunch or mid-afternoon. We are frequently asked to cater residents’ themed days and anniversaries of the home, with apple sauce, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Rural homes around East Street may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. Timings are planned around your care home event, working back from when you want to eat.
How we price a hog roast day
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- The address or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Request thin slices
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We clear away quietly.
Chicken can be added.

What else we do in East Street
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
