About our care home hog roast in North End
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. We serve halloumi skewers, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater day centre get-togethers and garden fêtes.
Around North End, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

For a summer hog roast day in North End, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well.
