Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to staff cooking, your staff can focus on residents. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Our staff serve and clear
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Carved by our chef in front of your residents

How our care home hog roast works in Newbridge
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. Whether it is summer fêtes and residents’ themed days, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and thinly carved roast pork and more.
At a rural home near Newbridge, access matters so we can plan our route. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
How we price a hog roast day
Here’s what affects the price:
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
- Time on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What allergens are in the food?
Allergen details are provided.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.

Planning for dietary needs
Some residents will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.

We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
