Care home hog roast in Meadle
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a trip out, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Meadle hosts choose us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Planning for dietary needs

Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. For a summer hog roast day in Meadle, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- 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 clear away quietly.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Name a contact for the day

What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- A spot that keeps access clear
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
