Care home hog roast in Glynde, slow-roasted on site
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 residents’ themed days and open afternoons, serving rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and thinly carved roast pork.
Country homes near Glynde frequently have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:

- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In late May, sunset in Glynde is about 8:50pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
