Care home hog roast for North Weston
How our care home hog roast works in North Weston
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. We serve thinly carved roast pork, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for day centre lunches and home anniversaries.
Country homes near North Weston frequently have big gardens with views, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How we price a hog roast day
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- Allergies we should know about
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any venue rules
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
What the cooking area needs

- Approval from the home
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Away from emergency routes
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
