Care home hog roast for your care home event in Rose Hill
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, lunch or mid-afternoon. We’re often asked to cater seasonal events and care home summer fairs, with roast potatoes, apple sauce and thinly carved roast pork.
Rural care homes near Rose Hill can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, we take the cooking off your team. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your residents
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Timed around your day
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
What affects the price in Rose Hill
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- Which meats and sides you’d like
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
