Care home hog roast in Ratton Village, carved to order
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. We serve apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and thinly carved roast pork, and we are frequently booked for garden fêtes and days for relatives.
