The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In summer, Bevendean has daylight until about 9:15pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Think about shelter for your residents
Getting a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your care home event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
