Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-September sunset in Begbroke is about 7:10pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Let us know about tight access
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
How to get a price
Every care home event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your care home event: fill in our quote form.
Planning help
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
