The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In summer, Green Cross has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
