A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a trip out, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Planned to your running order

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Send us the date, the address or ME12 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
Your questions about a hog roast day in Warden
Is Warden too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Warden close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you serve at lunch?
We fit around the home’s routine, whether lunch or later.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.
Can relatives eat with residents?
Families and staff are welcome.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you carve thinly?
We’ll serve however suits your residents.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A spot that keeps access clear
- Approval from the home
- Clear of bedroom windows
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
