Care home hog roast in Golden Cross
How our care home hog roast works in Golden Cross
In Golden Cross, care homes book us for fêtes, open days and family days, bringing everyone together over a meal. We serve halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and thinly carved roast pork, and we are regularly asked to cater summer fêtes and family days with visitors.
Rural homes around Golden Cross may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
What affects the price in Golden Cross
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel to Golden Cross
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Season and day of the week
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.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- Roughly how many people
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your date and serving time
- A photo of the cooking area
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a summer hog roast day in Golden Cross, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to staff cooking, your staff can focus on residents. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
