Care home hog roast for your care home event in Monken Hadley
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Whether it is community open days and seasonal events, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
Around Monken Hadley, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we agree access and timings with the home first. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
