About our care home hog roast in Caldecote
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Typical bookings include care home summer fairs and families’ days, serving thinly carved roast pork, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
Near Caldecote, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
