How we price a hog roast day
Each price is built from:
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- Travel to Eton
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, send us:
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- An estimate of numbers
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Winter afternoons in Eton are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:

- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Seating for residents
- Away from opening windows
- Approval from the home
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the roaster

Is a hog roast right for your care home event?

Why us?
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
