Care home hog roast in Fawkham Green, carved to order
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Typical bookings include day centre get-togethers and days for relatives, with apple sauce, new potatoes and roast potatoes.
Near Fawkham Green, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a big event. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. Late May in Fawkham Green has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
Getting ready for the day
