How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-September sunset in Troy Town is about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to get a price is to 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.

What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel to Troy Town
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
