Care home hog roast in Denstroude, carved to order
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. We’re frequently asked to cater days for relatives and open afternoons, with roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and thinly carved roast pork.
Rural care homes near Denstroude can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
