About our care home hog roast in Streat
For care homes in Streat, a hog roast day is a real occasion. Residents can watch the carving and share the meal with family and staff. We’re often asked to cater day centre events and staff appreciation days, with apple sauce, roast potatoes and new potatoes.
Rural homes around Streat may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How we price a hog roast day
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
- Time on site
- The date and time of year
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your care home event for a quote: use our quote form.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. By late September, the light in Streat goes at about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Send final numbers in good time
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Questions from Streat
Which station is closest to Streat?
The closest is Plumpton station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What about residents who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Where do you cook at a care home?
Always outside, in a spot you approve.
Do you come to Streat?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Streat and West Sussex. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Choose the time, and we’ll plan the roast around it.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Timed around your day
- Serving and clearing done for you
