Care home hog roast in Everton, carved to order
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. Whether it is day centre lunches and summer fêtes, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes.
Rural care homes near Everton can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. By late September, the light in Everton goes at about 7:10pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

What affects the price in Everton
The price comes down to:
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people
- What the outdoor space is like
- Which meats and sides you’d like
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.

Compared with a barbecue run by staff, your staff can focus on residents. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

Questions from Everton
Which station is closest to Everton?
The closest is Lymington Town station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you serve on plates?
Plates are frequently easier for residents.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

Can relatives eat with residents?
It works well as a day with families.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
