A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, your staff can focus on residents. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

- Sides to make it a full meal
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late May in Loudwater has light until about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us a contact number for the day
How to get a price
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
Planning help
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- Sign-off from management
- A level outdoor area
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
