Staff thank-you lunches are another reason homes book us, served between shifts. Typical bookings include retirement housing events and anniversaries of the home, with thinly carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
In Eel Pie Island, care homes generally have limited outdoor space, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
