The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In late May, sunset in Filching is about 8:50pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
