Care home hog roast in Bishopstone, slow-roasted on site
Some homes book a hog roast to thank their staff. We are often asked to cater residents’ themed days and sheltered housing gatherings, serving new potatoes, halloumi skewers and thinly carved roast pork.
Rural homes around Bishopstone may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
