How our care home hog roast works in Weyhill
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, well away from ambulance routes. Whether it is open afternoons and sheltered housing gatherings, we will put together a menu of thinly carved roast pork, apple sauce and new potatoes.
Rural homes around Weyhill may have plenty of outdoor space, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
