Care home hog roast for your care home event in Chalkshire
Staff thank-you lunches are another reason homes book us. On the menu are apple sauce, thinly carved roast pork and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for day centre events and milestone days for the home.
Rural homes around Chalkshire may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
