Our care home hog roast in Oxfordshire

Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. We serve halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes, and typical bookings are for staff thank-you lunches and seasonal events.

Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too.

What you will pay

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.
