What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In late May, sunset in Burcot is about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
