A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal is not offered
- Request thin slices
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
A hog roast compared with other options
For residents who need modified textures, your kitchen looks after those portions. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
