About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to the usual lunch, a hog roast day feels like an outing without leaving home. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Do you come out to small places like Russell's Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast in Highwoods?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
Plates are often easier for residents.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.

- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster

- Request gluten-free rolls
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Russell's Green, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
