How we price a hog roast day
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.

How our care home hog roast works in Lyne
Your team knows each resident’s needs, so we follow your guidance and give you full allergen details. Typical bookings include day centre lunches and family days with visitors, with rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and apple sauce.
At a rural home near Lyne, access matters. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In late May, sunset in Lyne is about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Name a contact for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a normal lunch from the kitchen, a hog roast brings the event to residents. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
