Care home hog roast for Grange Mills
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Winter afternoons in Grange Mills are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
