FAQs for Pyrford
Which station is closest to Pyrford?
The closest is West Byfleet station, roughly 1 mile away.
Is Pyrford close to London?
About 22 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What about texture-modified diets?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We’ll give your team the information they need.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can you carve thinly?
Plates are often easier for residents.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

These are the details we need:
- Dietary requirements

- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. For a summer hog roast day in Pyrford, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- 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.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
