How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Late-September sunset in Bloxham is about 7:10pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
