Care home hog roast in Pyrford Village, carved to order
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. We’re frequently asked to cater open days and seasonal events, serving roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
Country homes near Pyrford Village often have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Pyrford Village, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
How to prepare

Your questions about a hog roast day in Pyrford Village
Do you come out to small places like Pyrford Village?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What about texture-modified diets?
Modified textures are best done by the home; your team prepares those portions.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
