What affects the price in Somerley
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
- Travel to Somerley
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan residents can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Late May in Somerley has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen

We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
