Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, we take the cooking off your team. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Timed around your day
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Carved to order by a chef
