Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Compared with a normal lunch from the kitchen, a hog roast brings the event to residents. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why Kingston hosts choose us

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. By late September, the light in Kingston goes at about 7:00pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Give us a contact number for the day
