Care home hog roast in Tye, carved to order
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. We serve roast potatoes, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for care home summer fairs and retirement community days.
At a rural home near Tye, access matters. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, low and slow, for hours.

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed

How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Where do you cook at a care home?
Outdoors under cover, on a level spot clear of emergency access.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is there a non-pork option?
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.
How we price a hog roast day
We work out each quote from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help

- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and time of the event
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.
