Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- Plates or china
- Travel to West Grinstead
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Chicken can be added.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-September sunset in West Grinstead is about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Gather dietary requirements early
