How our care home hog roast works in Brewer Street
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Whether it is day centre events and families’ days, we will put together a menu of roast potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken.
Near Brewer Street, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
