How we price a hog roast day
We do not use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Dietary requirements

- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
