How our care home hog roast works in Bagnum
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. Whether it’s residents’ themed days and staff thank-you lunches, we can cook thinly carved roast pork, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
Near Bagnum, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Count families and staff too
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
