A hog roast or other catering?
Next to staff cooking, your staff can focus on residents. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Late May in Warborough has light until about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Think about shelter for your residents

How we price a hog roast day
Things that change the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Allergies we should know about
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and time of the event
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Sign-off from management
- Someone to meet us
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
