The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Winter afternoons in Great Burgh are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
