Care home hog roast for your care home event in Frogham
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. We are frequently asked to cater days for relatives and day centre events, with thinly carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Rural care homes near Frogham can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your residents.
