What affects the price in Loxhill
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- Travel to Loxhill
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Away from opening windows
- Approval from the home
- A level spot in the garden or car park

How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In late May, sunset in Loxhill is about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Questions from Loxhill
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Loxhill?
The closest is Witley station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you cover Loxhill?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request thin slices
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Halal isn’t offered
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
