How our care home hog roast works in Longfield Hill
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. For themed days and day centre lunches, we can cook roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes for your residents.
Rural homes around Longfield Hill may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Request thin slices
Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
