How our care home hog roast works in Aspley Heath
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Typical bookings include care home summer fairs and sheltered housing gatherings, with thinly carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
Rural homes around Aspley Heath may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
