How our care home hog roast works in Wootton
Day centres and retirement housing near Wootton also book us, for themed days and gatherings. We’re frequently asked to cater days for relatives and open days, with thinly carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Rural care homes near Wootton can feel a long way from the bustle of town, so a hog roast day is a special occasion. The carving happens right in front of your residents, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In summer, Wootton has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
