The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your residents will smell it long before they see it. In summer, Fyfield has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
