How our care home hog roast works in Newland Green
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Typical bookings include seasonal events and anniversaries of the home, with halloumi skewers, thinly carved roast pork and roast potatoes.
Rural care homes near Newland Green can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a big event. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- An activities lead or manager as contact
- Flat ground in the grounds
- Approval from the home
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
