Slow-roasted pork in Duckett's Green
Care home hog roast in Duckett's Green, slow-roasted on site
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. We serve new potatoes, halloumi skewers and thinly carved roast pork, and we are frequently booked for families’ days and day centre events.
In Duckett's Green, care homes generally have limited outdoor space, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
