The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. Winter afternoons in Charndon are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
