About our care home hog roast in North Street
Serving times fit around the home’s day, whether that’s lunch or an afternoon event. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and thinly carved roast pork, and we are frequently booked for residents’ themed days and garden fêtes.
Rural care homes near North Street can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a big event. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your residents.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan residents can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Winter afternoons in North Street are short, with sunset at about 3:50pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
