About our care home hog roast in Southington
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. We’re frequently asked to cater families’ days and day centre get-togethers, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes.
For a care home near Southington, tell us about lanes and the drive. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
