What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In summer, Hinchley Wood has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- 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.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
