Care home hog roast in Mottingham, carved to order
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Whether it’s garden fêtes and milestone days for the home, we can cook apple sauce, thinly carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken.
In Mottingham, care homes usually have limited outdoor space, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your residents.
