Questions from Pyecombe

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
Plates are often easier for residents.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.

Pyecombe: care homes and access
Pyecombe is about 4 miles south of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. Care home events in Pyecombe are part of our patch, along with the towns and villages around it. Pyecombe is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover.
Volunteers from churches such as Church of the Transfiguration sometimes help at care home events, and a hog roast day can bring everyone together. Wolstonbury Hill is close by, a good starting point for a chat about days out. The South Downs National Park is within about 3 miles of Pyecombe, a nice prompt for residents’ memories of days out. With the sea within about 6 miles, many residents will have memories of the seaside.
For care home events in BN45, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. Streets in the area include London Road, School Lane and Church Hill, and a care home event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. For care home events just outside Pyecombe, we cover Saddlescombe (1 mile south-west), Waterhall (2 miles south), Patcham (3 miles south), Westdene (3 miles south) and Hollingbury (3 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Crawley (15 miles north), Horsham (13 miles north-west), Worthing (12 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (7 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (4 miles north) and Shoreham-by-Sea (6 miles south-west).
Well-known places in the area include Clayton Castle (1 mile north-east) and The Budding Foundation Museum of Gardening (1.7 miles north). The countryside around Pyecombe includes Wolstonbury Hill and Ladies Mile.
Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a summer hog roast day in Pyecombe, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Think about shelter for your residents
