Care home hog roast in Gunnersbury, slow-roasted on site
The roaster cooks in the grounds, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We serve apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for themed days and sheltered housing gatherings.
For a care home in Gunnersbury, a corner of the garden or car park normally works, as agreed with the manager. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
