What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- An estimate of numbers
- Your menu choices
- Allergies we should know about
Every care home event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your care home event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
