How our care home hog roast works in West Hoathly
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Residents on modified diets should have meals prepared by your kitchen. For summer fêtes and retirement housing events, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken for your residents.
At a rural home near West Hoathly, access matters. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Why choose a hog roast in West Hoathly?
