How our care home hog roast works in Pevensey Bay
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. Popular choices include new potatoes, roast potatoes and thinly carved roast pork, and we are regularly asked to cater families’ days and open days.
Care homes around Pevensey Bay are often in converted houses with gardens. Let us know about the way in. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
