About our care home hog roast in Heston
For care homes in Heston, a hog roast day is a real occasion. Residents can watch the carving and share the meal with family and staff. Typical bookings include day centre get-togethers and garden fêtes, serving roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and thinly carved roast pork.
Around Heston, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
