A hog roast compared with other options
Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Someone to meet us
- Approval from the home
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
