Care home hog roast in Reigate, carved to order
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. On the menu are thinly carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for thank-you meals for staff and themed days.
