About our care home hog roast in Northbrook
The roaster cooks in the grounds, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, thinly carved roast pork and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for community open days and family days with visitors.
At a rural home near Northbrook, access matters. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
- How many people are eating
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.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

Which station is closest to Northbrook?
Micheldever station, about 2.1 miles north of the centre.
Is Northbrook too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you carve thinly?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What about texture-modified diets?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We will share allergen and menu details.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
