Care home hog roast in Foscot
Care home hog roast in Foscot, slow-roasted on site
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. We are often asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and milestone days for the home, with halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and new potatoes.
Rural homes around Foscot may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
