Care home hog roast for your care home event in Ansteadbrook
Some homes book a hog roast to thank their staff, served between shifts. Popular choices include thinly carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for retirement community days and care home summer fairs.
Rural homes around Ansteadbrook may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Roast pork
