Care home hog roast in Dagenham Green, carved to order

Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Instead of organising a trip, it is easier for everyone to enjoy. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Choices for people who do not eat pork

How long does the roast need?

What do you need from us on the day?
