About our care home hog roast in Great Hollands
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. On the menu are roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and thinly carved roast pork, and we are regularly asked to cater retirement community days and staff thank-you lunches.
Around Great Hollands, homes frequently have a garden and drive. Tell us about access. Timings are planned around your care home event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

For event organisers in Great Hollands
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
