Care home hog roast in Fareham, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. Residents can watch the carving and share the meal with family and staff. For day centre events and milestone days for the home, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, roast potatoes and new potatoes for your residents.
In Fareham, a garden hog roast on a sunny day works beautifully. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
