How our care home hog roast works in Ponders End
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. On the menu are apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for themed days and day centre get-togethers.
For a care home in Ponders End, a corner of the garden or car park generally works. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
