About our care home hog roast in York Town
Your team knows each resident’s needs, so we provide full allergen information and work to your plan. Whether it is retirement housing events and open afternoons, we can cook new potatoes, halloumi skewers and apple sauce and more.
Smaller homes around York Town may only have a modest garden, so we check the space with photos first. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
