Care home hog roast in Church End, carved to order
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’re frequently asked to cater open afternoons and families’ days, with roast potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and halloumi skewers.
Rural care homes near Church End can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Count families and staff too
