The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. By late September, the light in Loyterton goes at about 7:00pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Loyterton: your questions answered
Is Loyterton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Loyterton from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What if things run late?
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.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A level outdoor area
- Away from emergency routes
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
Take a look at our pricing and what a hog roast costs.
How we price a hog roast day
There is no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
The quickest way to get a price is to 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.
