A hog roast near Donnybrook Quarter
Care home hog roast in Donnybrook Quarter, slow-roasted on site
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, lunch or mid-afternoon. Popular choices include roast potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for day centre get-togethers and staff thank-you lunches.
London care homes around Donnybrook Quarter often sit on busy streets with tight access, so we agree access and timings with the home first. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
