Care home hog roast for your care home event in Bough Beech
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear and away from opening windows. We serve rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for open days and staff appreciation days.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Request thin slices
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count residents who need an alternative
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Chicken can be added.
