How we price a hog roast day
There’s no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Every care home event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your care home event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Away from opening windows
- A spot that keeps access clear
- An activities lead or manager as contact
As a London location, Newington Butts is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
