What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Someone to meet us
- Flat ground in the grounds
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:

We arrive early and set up outdoors, following your sign-in and safety rules.

How we price a hog roast day
Your quote depends on:
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your care home event: fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
