Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
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.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Every care home event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your care home event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Sunnymeads, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
