How our care home hog roast works in Hanworth
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. Typical bookings include staff thank-you lunches and day centre get-togethers, with apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes.
Smaller homes around Hanworth may only have a modest garden, so we check the space with photos first. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

How much does a hog roast cost?

Can you work around our timings?

Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.

What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, use our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
