Care home hog roast in Anmore
Care home hog roast in Anmore, carved to order
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Popular choices include thinly carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes, and we’re frequently booked for sheltered housing gatherings and families’ days.
Country homes near Anmore often have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Next to a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
