Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request thin slices
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Ask about china.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
- Travel to Loughton
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
