Slow-roasted pork in Linton
Care home hog roast in Linton, carved to order
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. For home anniversaries and day centre events, we will put together a menu of thinly carved roast pork, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken and more.
Rural homes around Linton may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
