Care home hog roast in Weddington
Care home hog roast in Weddington, slow-roasted on site
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. Typical bookings include milestone days for the home and retirement community days, with halloumi skewers, apple sauce and roast potatoes.
For a care home near Weddington, tell us about lanes and the drive. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Late May in Weddington has light until about 8:45pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
