Looking after everyone
Some residents won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates.
Serving on plates is often easier.
How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Winter afternoons in Little Ickford are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.

- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.

Why choose a hog roast in Little Ickford?

What you get with us
- Timed around your day
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- An itemised quote
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Your menu choices
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Send us the date, the address or HP18 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
