Slow-roasted pork in Puttenham
Care home hog roast in Puttenham, slow-roasted on site
Serving times fit around the home’s day, lunch or mid-afternoon. Whether it’s garden fêtes and community open days, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes for your residents.
At a rural home near Puttenham, access matters. 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.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.

A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. By late September, the light in Puttenham goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
