What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your care home event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
How our care home hog roast works in Putney
For care homes in Putney, a hog roast day is a real occasion. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. Whether it’s home anniversaries and thank-you meals for staff, we can cook rotisserie chicken, thinly carved roast pork and roast potatoes.
Around Putney, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast can be part of a wider event, such as a singer or a garden fête. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- An itemised quote
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Carved by our chef in front of your residents

Allergies and dietary needs
Some residents will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Request thin slices
- Halal is not offered
We clear away quietly.
Serving on plates is frequently easier.
For event organisers in Putney
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Where the roaster can go in Putney
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:

Questions from Putney
Can you do a hog roast in Bishops Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Putney has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
What about residents who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can families and staff join in?
It works well as a day with families; just tell us total numbers.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
