About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
About our care home hog roast in West End Green
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. We’re often asked to cater garden fêtes and retirement housing events, with halloumi skewers, apple sauce and new potatoes.
At a rural home near West End Green, access matters. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
