About our care home hog roast in South Harrow
You know your residents best, so we follow your guidance and give you full allergen details. We are often asked to cater thank-you meals for staff and days for relatives, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes.
In South Harrow, care homes generally have limited outdoor space, so we agree a cooking spot clear of ambulance access and windows. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
