How our care home hog roast works in Dane Hill
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. On the menu are halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater care home summer fairs and community open days.
For a care home near Dane Hill, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan our route. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
