Step by step

- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
