About our care home hog roast in Gidea Park
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. Typical bookings include residents’ themed days and home anniversaries, with thinly carved roast pork, roast potatoes and apple sauce.
