A hog roast near Horn Hill
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-September sunset in Horn Hill is about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your residents

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
