Care home hog roast in Frant, slow-roasted on site
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, thinly carved roast pork and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for themed days and days for relatives.
At a rural home near Frant, access matters. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
