How our care home hog roast works in Eversley
For care homes in Eversley, a hog roast day is a real occasion. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. Typical bookings include families’ days and seasonal events, with rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes.
At a rural home near Eversley, access matters. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In late May, sunset in Eversley 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.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
