A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like St Paul's Mission Church, is a good occasion for a hog roast. Residents who remember days out at Hurley Chalk Pit may enjoy talking about them over lunch.
Anywhere in RG10, we can roast on site for your residents. Streets in the area include Hodgedale Lane, Pudding Hill and Warren Row Road, and a care home event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

Planning help
A hog roast or other catering?
Some homes combine a hog roast with entertainment, such as a singer or a garden fête. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Planned to your running order
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event
- What the outdoor space is like
- Where the event is
