How our care home hog roast works in Oakley
Some homes book a hog roast to thank their staff, served between shifts. Typical bookings include retirement housing events and staff thank-you lunches, with rotisserie chicken, thinly carved roast pork and new potatoes.
Smaller homes around Oakley may only have a modest garden, so we check the space with photos first. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
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 picture of the cooking area
- Your date and serving time
- Any venue rules

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. For a summer hog roast day in Oakley, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
