How our care home hog roast works in Ufton Nervet
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. Whether it’s milestone days for the home and retirement housing events, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Country homes near Ufton Nervet often have big gardens with views, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

- Allergies we should know about
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
