About our care home hog roast in Weeke
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. Popular choices include thinly carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes, and we’re frequently booked for sheltered housing gatherings and open afternoons.
Smaller homes around Weeke may only have a modest garden, so we check the space with photos first. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your residents.

What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to Weeke
- Numbers
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about

A hog roast compared with other options
Instead of organising a trip, it is easier for everyone to enjoy. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Halal isn’t offered
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.

Questions from Weeke
How far is Weeke from London?
About 61 miles from central London.
Could you cook in St. Cross Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We’ll give your team the information they need.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
