Looking after everyone

- Request thin slices
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In summer, Heathfield has daylight until about 9:15pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
Ask for a quote
