For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In late May, sunset in Guestling is about 8:45pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
Getting a price
Every care home event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your care home event: send us your details through our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request thin slices
- Halal is not offered
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates.
Serving on plates is frequently easier.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.

FAQs for Guestling
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you come out to small places like Guestling?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do you cover Guestling?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Approval from the home
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- Away from opening windows
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
