What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Where residents need modified meals, your kitchen looks after those portions. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- No surprises: everything in writing
