How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In summer, Binstead has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe 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.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
