Care home hog roast for your care home event in Statenborough
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Popular choices include thinly carved roast pork, apple sauce and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for summer fêtes and open days.
Rural homes around Statenborough may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
