Egham Hythe questions
Which station is closest to Egham Hythe?
The closest is Egham station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you do a hog roast in Penton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you carve thinly?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What about texture-modified diets?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We will share allergen and menu details.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In summer, Egham Hythe has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
