How we price a hog roast day
There is no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time

We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
