Care home hog roast in Upperton, carved to order
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. Whether it is thank-you meals for staff and summer fêtes, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, thinly carved roast pork and new potatoes for your residents.
Around Upperton, homes often have a garden and drive. Let us know about the way in. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.

If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
