Care home hog roast in Well, carved to order
We roast through the morning and serve at the time that suits the home’s routine, whether that’s lunch or an afternoon event. For days for relatives and themed days, we can cook halloumi skewers, apple sauce and new potatoes.
Rural homes around Well may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your residents.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In late May, sunset in Well is about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- You get a clear price.
- We cook in the grounds.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
