Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In summer, Great Tew has daylight until about 9:30pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
