Care home hog roast in Hurstbourne Priors, carved to order
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Popular choices include roast potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for open afternoons and staff appreciation days.
Rural homes around Hurstbourne Priors may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
