About our care home hog roast in Stone Street
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 staff appreciation days and milestone days for the home, serving halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes.
Country homes near Stone Street often have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
