How our care home hog roast works in Amen Corner
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. On the menu are thinly carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for retirement housing events and days for relatives.
Care homes around Amen Corner are often in converted houses with gardens. Let us know about the way in. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
