How our care home hog roast works in Butler's Cross
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for staff thank-you lunches and milestone days for the home.
At a rural home near Butler's Cross, access matters. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
