Care home hog roast in Gun Hill, slow-roasted on site

What affects the price in Gun Hill
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies we should know about

For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
We clear away quietly.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For residents who need modified textures, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Timed around your day
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Fresh carving at the serving station
See our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- An activities lead or manager as contact
- Away from emergency routes
- Flat ground in the grounds

How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late May in Gun Hill has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

FAQs for Gun Hill
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Gun Hill?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
