Care home hog roast in Standlake, slow-roasted on site
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear and away from opening windows. Popular choices include thinly carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater milestone days for the home and community open days.
Rural homes around Standlake may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

A hog roast or other catering?

What affects the price in Standlake
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
To get a quote, just 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.
