Care home hog roast in Swalcliffe, carved to order
Every hog roast day is planned with your care and kitchen teams: the cooking spot, numbers and serving arrangements. Whether it is staff thank-you lunches and open afternoons, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and thinly carved roast pork for your residents.
Rural care homes near Swalcliffe can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
