Care home hog roast for Northfleet Green
Care home hog roast in Northfleet Green, slow-roasted on site
Some homes book a hog roast to thank their staff. We’re often asked to cater staff appreciation days and families’ days, serving roast potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and apple sauce.
For a care home near Northfleet Green, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan our route. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Where residents need modified meals, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
