Care home hog roast in Bouldnor, carved to order
You know your residents best, so we provide full allergen information and work to your plan. For community open days and themed days, we’ll put together a menu of thinly carved roast pork, roast potatoes and new potatoes and more.
Near Bouldnor, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a big event. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
