Why choose a hog roast in Worth?
Next to the usual lunch, a hog roast brings the event to residents. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
Read our pricing or the cost guide.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
We clear away quietly.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
What affects the price in Worth
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
- Time on site
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Winter afternoons in Worth are short, with sunset at about 3:50pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Worth questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you do a hog roast in Ham Fen?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
