Care home hog roast for Bix
Care home hog roast in Bix, slow-roasted on site
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. For day centre get-togethers and retirement housing events, we can cook new potatoes, roast potatoes and apple sauce for your residents.
Rural homes around Bix may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
