Care home hog roast in Kew, carved to order
Some homes book a hog roast to thank their staff, served between shifts. Typical bookings include retirement housing events and day centre lunches, with rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers.
In Kew, care homes generally have limited outdoor space, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
