The process
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Winter afternoons in Hyde are short, with sunset at about 4:00pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- 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.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
