Care home hog roast in Eversholt, slow-roasted on site

Rural care homes near Eversholt can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a big event. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. By late September, the light in Eversholt goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Name a contact for the day

About the food
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.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
How we price a hog roast day
We do not use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Travel to Eversholt
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

- Rules from the venue or landowner
