About our care home hog roast in High Cross
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. We’re frequently asked to cater themed days and home anniversaries, serving rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
