Care home hog roast in Ludgershall, 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. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. We are often asked to cater sheltered housing gatherings and day centre lunches, with apple sauce, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
At a rural home near Ludgershall, access matters so we can plan our route. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
