What time do you serve?
Tell us the time that suits residents, and we’ll plan the roast around it.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.

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 we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.

How we price a hog roast day
There’s no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Send us the date, the address or OX5 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your residents will smell it long before they see it. Late May in Gosford has light until about 9:00pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
Getting a price
Every care home event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your care home event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
