Care home hog roast for your care home event in Easton
For care homes in Easton, a hog roast day is a real occasion. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. Popular choices include new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for days for relatives and open days.
Rural care homes near Easton can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a big event. Timings are planned around your care home event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
