Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, your staff can focus on residents. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
