Care home hog roast in Allhallows-on-Sea, carved to order

Country homes near Allhallows-on-Sea frequently have big gardens with views, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Request gluten-free rolls
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
