Care home hog roast in Langton Green, carved to order
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. We’re often asked to cater open days and staff appreciation days, with thinly carved roast pork, roast potatoes and new potatoes.
Smaller homes around Langton Green may only have a modest garden, so send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly whether the roaster fits. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your residents.
