How we price a hog roast day
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the cooking area
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the event is
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
For event organisers in Titchfield
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-September sunset in Titchfield is about 7:10pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
