About our care home hog roast in Vale of Health
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that’s easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Typical bookings include day centre events and family days with visitors, with rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
For a care home in Vale of Health, a corner of the garden or car park typically works, as agreed with the manager. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
