How our care home hog roast works in Brook
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. We’re frequently asked to cater seasonal events and day centre get-togethers, serving thinly carved roast pork, roast potatoes and new potatoes.
Near Brook, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a big event. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
