How our care home hog roast works in Wildmoor

How we price a hog roast day
We work out each quote from:
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
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 to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any venue rules
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Common questions in Wildmoor
Is Wildmoor too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Wildmoor?
The closest is Bramley (Hants) station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you provide allergen information?
Allergen details are provided.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a trip out, it is easier for everyone to enjoy. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- All the equipment comes with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
