Care home hog roast in North Camp, carved to order
A hog roast day gives residents something to look forward to. The smell drifts through the home, residents can watch the carving, and families can join in. We serve apple sauce, roast potatoes and new potatoes, and we are often booked for home anniversaries and staff thank-you lunches.
Smaller homes around North Camp may only have a modest garden, so send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly whether the roaster fits. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Count families and staff too
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
