Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- Site access
- Plates or china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. For a summer hog roast day in Freeland, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:30pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Before you choose a spot

- Clear of bedroom windows
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level outdoor area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
