How our care home hog roast works in Wexham Street
We plan the day with your manager and kitchen team: where the roaster goes, who is eating and how food is served. We’re often asked to cater days for relatives and staff appreciation days, with new potatoes, roast potatoes and thinly carved roast pork.
For a care home near Wexham Street, tell us about lanes and the drive. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planners, venues and businesses
