How our care home hog roast works in Pollards Hill
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. For sheltered housing gatherings and seasonal events, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Around Pollards Hill, 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. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
