About our care home hog roast in Twitton
Some homes book a hog roast to thank their staff, served between shifts. We are frequently asked to cater day centre get-togethers and anniversaries of the home, serving halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and apple sauce.
Near Twitton, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a big event. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
