Care home hog roast in Three Ashes, carved to order
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. We serve thinly carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and apple sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater days for relatives and summer fêtes.
At a rural home near Three Ashes, access matters so we can plan our route. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
