Care home hog roast in Camber, carved to order
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We’re frequently asked to cater milestone days for the home and care home summer fairs, with thinly carved roast pork, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Rural homes around Camber may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
