Care home hog roast in Wokingham, carved to order
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Whether it’s families’ days and home anniversaries, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, new potatoes and thinly carved roast pork and more.
In Wokingham, care settings range from big homes to small ones. We’ll agree a level spot clear of emergency access. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For a summer hog roast day in Wokingham, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
