A hog roast near Russ Hill
Care home hog roast in Russ Hill, slow-roasted on site
Some homes book a hog roast to thank their staff, served between shifts. For day centre events and retirement housing events, we can cook rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and new potatoes for your residents.
Country homes near Russ Hill often have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. For a summer hog roast day in Russ Hill, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
