About our care home hog roast in Burnt Hill

- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Request thin slices

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Where residents need modified meals, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
