The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.

What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Site access
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your menu choices
- Roughly how many people
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Halal is not offered
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count families and staff too
- Tell us who does not eat pork
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Chicken can be added.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In summer, Spanish Green has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
