How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Winter afternoons in Crofton Park are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
