How our care home hog roast works in Coombe
The roaster cooks in the grounds, well away from ambulance routes. Typical bookings include day centre get-togethers and summer fêtes, with apple sauce, roast potatoes and new potatoes.
Country homes near Coombe frequently have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
What affects the price in Coombe
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
