About our care home hog roast in Hazel Street
Retirement housing and day centres around Hazel Street book hog roast days too, for summer get-togethers and themed days. We are often asked to cater milestone days for the home and seasonal events, with new potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and halloumi skewers.
Rural care homes near Hazel Street can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a big event. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
