How our care home hog roast works in Golden Green
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. For thank-you meals for staff and open days, we can cook thinly carved roast pork, apple sauce and roast potatoes for your residents.
Rural care homes near Golden Green can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
The process
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your care home event. In late May, sunset in Golden Green is about 8:50pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
