Care home hog roast for Charter Alley
About our care home hog roast in Charter Alley
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. We are frequently asked to cater families’ days and staff appreciation days, with thinly carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
Country homes near Charter Alley often have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your residents.
About the food
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
