Care home hog roast in Bishopsgate
How our care home hog roast works in Bishopsgate
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. For day centre get-togethers and milestone days for the home, we can cook roast potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken for your residents.
Care homes in Bishopsgate frequently have a small garden or car park, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
