In Egham, care homes book us for fêtes, open days and family days, bringing everyone together over a meal. We are often asked to cater community open days and summer fêtes, serving rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and apple sauce.
Day centres and sheltered housing in Egham often have a communal garden, where a hog roast works well. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In late May, sunset in Egham is about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Served at the time you choose
- A clear quote with everything listed
- A choice of salads and potatoes

For event organisers in Egham
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
