A hog roast near Aspley Guise
For event organisers in Aspley Guise
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
How our care home hog roast works in Aspley Guise
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. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, thinly carved roast pork and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater retirement housing events and days for relatives.
Rural care homes near Aspley Guise can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
