The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Late-September sunset in Owlswick is about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Name a contact for the day

How we price a hog roast day
The price comes down to:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- Time on site
- Crockery choices
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Dietary requirements
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Serving on plates is often easier.
A hog roast or other catering?
Where residents need modified meals, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Owlswick hosts choose us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
