How our care home hog roast works in Addington
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear and away from opening windows. Whether it’s milestone days for the home and retirement community days, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, apple sauce and halloumi skewers for your residents.
Rural care homes near Addington can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a big event. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
