About our care home hog roast in The City

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
How we price a hog roast day
We work out each quote from:
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- What the outdoor space is like
