How our care home hog roast works in Hill Brow
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and thinly carved roast pork, and we are regularly asked to cater home anniversaries and garden fêtes.
Rural care homes near Hill Brow can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a big event. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
