Care home hog roast in Jericho, slow-roasted on site
For care homes in Jericho, a hog roast day is a real occasion. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. For sheltered housing gatherings and milestone days for the home, we can cook thinly carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes for your residents.
Around Jericho, homes often have a garden and drive. Tell us about access. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
