In West Byfleet, care homes, a hog roast day brings a sense of occasion. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
How the day works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your care home event in West Byfleet. For a summer hog roast day in West Byfleet, 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.
