Care home hog roast for your care home event in Albourne Street
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. We serve roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and thinly carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for garden fêtes and anniversaries of the home.
Country homes near Albourne Street frequently have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
