How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late May in Brook has light until about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Send final numbers in good time

Next to a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- The journey to the venue
