How our care home hog roast works in Leeds
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, whether that’s lunch or an afternoon event. Popular choices include roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for day centre lunches and seasonal events.
For a care home near Leeds, tell us about lanes and the drive. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your residents.

About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
How we price a hog roast day
The biggest factors are:
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help

- The address or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Send us the date, the address or ME17 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Ask about china.

How the day works
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 is ready when you want to eat. Late May in Leeds has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
