About our care home hog roast in Broad Ford
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. Whether it’s staff appreciation days and themed days, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and thinly carved roast pork for your residents.
Country homes near Broad Ford often have big gardens with views, 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.
