How our care home hog roast works in Steep
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. We serve apple sauce, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes, and typical bookings are for sheltered housing gatherings and summer fêtes.
For a care home near Steep, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan our route. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
