About our care home hog roast in Vanbrugh Park Estate
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, whether that’s lunch or an afternoon event. We’re often asked to cater care home summer fairs and open afternoons, serving new potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and apple sauce.
Around Vanbrugh Park Estate, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. Timings are planned around your care home event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
