Care home hog roast in Hatchford, slow-roasted on site
The roaster cooks in the grounds, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. For days for relatives and care home summer fairs, we can cook roast potatoes, new potatoes and apple sauce for your residents.
Country homes near Hatchford often have big gardens with views, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Sign-off from management
