How our care home hog roast works in Seaton
You know your residents best, so we follow your guidance and give you full allergen details. On the menu are halloumi skewers, new potatoes and roast potatoes, and typical bookings are for retirement housing events and anniversaries of the home.
At a rural home near Seaton, access matters. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Where residents need modified meals, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Seaton hosts choose us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- An itemised quote
