Slow-roasted pork in Great Missenden
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late May in Great Missenden has light until about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- 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.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
