What affects the price in Glympton
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- Numbers
- Time on site
- Site access
- Menu choices and extras
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Why choose a hog roast in Glympton?
