Care home hog roast for your care home event in Grayswood
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. We’re often asked to cater staff appreciation days and community open days, serving new potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and apple sauce.
For a care home near Grayswood, tell us about lanes and the drive. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

- Sign-off from management
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
