Care home hog roast for your care home event in West Silvertown

Around West Silvertown, getting equipment to a care home garden can mean a side gate or a rear entrance, so we check the route in with the manager beforehand. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
