Care home hog roast in Offham, slow-roasted on site
Summer fêtes, open days and family days at care homes in Offham suit a hog roast, with residents, staff and visitors eating together. For open afternoons and seasonal events, we can cook thinly carved roast pork, new potatoes and halloumi skewers for your residents.
Rural homes around Offham may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
