What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Season and day of the week
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Your menu choices
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your care home event for a quote: use our quote form.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Late May in Midgham has light until about 8:55pm, 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
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Name a contact for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
Getting a price

What if things run late?

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
