Book a hog roast in Lye Green
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, please mention:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Lye Green, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
Getting a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your care home event: send us your details through our quote form.

A hog roast or other catering?
Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Timed around your day
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal isn’t offered
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
Questions from Lye Green
Do you come out to small places like Lye Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Lye Green?
The closest is Berkhamsted station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
