How our care home hog roast works in Doleham
For care homes in Doleham, a hog roast day is a real occasion. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. Typical bookings include day centre lunches and family days with visitors, with apple sauce, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
