For a care home near Pirbright, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan our route. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

What affects the price in Pirbright
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
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.
Details that help

Where do you cook at a care home?
In the garden or car park, in a spot you approve.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.

How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Pirbright, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
