Slow-roasted pork in Bay View
Care home hog roast in Bay View, slow-roasted on site
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. For milestone days for the home and retirement community days, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, thinly carved roast pork and roast potatoes and more.
For a care home near Bay View, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan our route. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Halal isn’t offered
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
We clear away quietly.
Serving on plates is frequently easier.
