About our care home hog roast in Little Posbrook
Some homes book a hog roast to thank their staff. We serve thinly carved roast pork, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater community open days and sheltered housing gatherings.
Rural homes around Little Posbrook may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count families and staff too
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered
Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
When you contact us, please mention:
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
