Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your residents will smell it long before they see it. In summer, Gold Street has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- 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
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Think about shelter for your residents
