About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
How we price a hog roast day
Each price is built from:
- Distance from us
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Compared with a trip out, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
