Care home hog roast in London Beach
Care home hog roast in London Beach, slow-roasted on site
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 are frequently asked to cater themed days and day centre events, with thinly carved roast pork, new potatoes and apple sauce.
At a rural home near London Beach, access matters so we can plan our route. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Winter afternoons in London Beach are short, with sunset at about 3:50pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
