Care home hog roast in Mount Pleasant, 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 serve apple sauce, thinly carved roast pork and roast potatoes, and typical bookings are for thank-you meals for staff and day centre events.
Rural care homes near Mount Pleasant can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
