Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Where residents need modified meals, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why South Street hosts choose us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Carved by our chef in front of your residents
- All the equipment comes with us
See our prices page and the cost guide.
What affects the price in South Street
The price comes down to:
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Your date and serving time
- Your menu choices
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs or allergies

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Count families and staff too
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your residents, with crackling for everyone who wants it. By late September, the light in South Street goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Gather dietary requirements early
