How we price a hog roast day
We do not use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Season and day of the week
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any venue rules
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Count families and staff too
We clear away quietly.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
