About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. For a summer hog roast day in Crook Log, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime event is better.

- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
