About our care home hog roast in Wexham Court
Pork can be carved thinly and served on plates with potatoes and apple sauce, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. On the menu are halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and milestone days for the home.
For a care home near Wexham Court, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan our route. The hog is roasted on site at your care home event, low and slow, for hours.
