About our care home hog roast in Eversley Centre
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. Residents can watch the carving and share the meal with family and staff. Whether it’s families’ days and anniversaries of the home, we will put together a menu of thinly carved roast pork, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Rural care homes near Eversley Centre can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. 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.
