About our care home hog roast in Pamber End
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. For anniversaries of the home and community open days, we’ll put together a menu of thinly carved roast pork, roast potatoes and apple sauce for your residents.
Country homes near Pamber End frequently have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How we price a hog roast day
The price comes down to:
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
- Season and day of the week

Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request thin slices
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count residents who need an alternative
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
