How our care home hog roast works in Highstreet Green
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, whether that is lunch or an afternoon event. For open afternoons and day centre get-togethers, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, new potatoes and thinly carved roast pork and more.
Near Highstreet Green, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a big event. Timings are planned around your care home event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
How we price a hog roast day
Things that change the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Rules from the venue or landowner
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. For a summer hog roast day in Highstreet Green, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
