What else we do in Goose Green
What comes off the roaster

How we price a hog roast day
We do not use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
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, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
