If your residents have links with St. James' Church, a fête or open day together is a nice moment for a hog roast. With the A3054 nearby, the home is easy for us to reach. The coast is within about 3 miles, and a day in the garden may bring back seaside memories.
Care home events anywhere in PO41 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many residents. From High Street, Station Road and Alma Place or anywhere nearby, we will bring the roaster to you. You’ll find Yarmouth on the A3054, so it is easy for us to reach with the equipment.

Why choose a hog roast in Yarmouth?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, we take the cooking off your team. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Planned to your running order

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. By late September, the light in Yarmouth goes at about 7:10pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal is not offered
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
