About our care home hog roast in Kensal Town
The roaster cooks in the grounds, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. For staff thank-you lunches and home anniversaries, we will put together a menu of thinly carved roast pork, apple sauce and halloumi skewers and more.
For a care home in Kensal Town, a corner of the garden or car park normally works, as agreed with the manager. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
