How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Late May in Farley Hill has light until about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking 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.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
