The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count families and staff too
- Request thin slices
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
