A hog roast or other catering?
Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Planned to your running order
- Our staff serve and clear
- All the equipment comes with us
Read how we price and the cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
- Travel to Milton Hill
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or OX13 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
How it works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your care home event in Milton Hill. In Milton Hill, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
