Care home hog roast for your care home event in Selsfield Common
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. Typical bookings include care home summer fairs and anniversaries of the home, serving roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and thinly carved roast pork.
Rural homes around Selsfield Common may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
