- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork

- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Winter afternoons in Aldington Frith are short, with sunset at about 3:50pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day

The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Do you provide allergen information?
We provide full allergen information for every dish. Stuffing normally contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
