Care home hog roast in Carshalton, carved to order
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. Whether it is day centre get-togethers and community open days, we can cook rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and apple sauce for your residents.
Care homes in Carshalton frequently have a small garden or car park, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your residents.

A hog roast or other catering?
