Care home hog roast in Upper Brailes, slow-roasted on site
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. On the menu are apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and thinly carved roast pork, and we’re regularly asked to cater open afternoons and days for relatives.
Rural homes around Upper Brailes may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- An estimate of numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any dietary needs or allergies
