About our care home hog roast in New Milton
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Typical bookings include care home summer fairs and open afternoons, serving thinly carved roast pork, new potatoes and roast potatoes.
Around New Milton, some homes have limited outdoor space, so send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly whether the roaster fits. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
