How we price a hog roast day
We do not use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Your menu choices
- The address or postcode
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late-September sunset in Well End is about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
