About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your residents will smell it long before they see it. Late-September sunset in Little Bookham is about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
Preparing for the day

- Gather dietary requirements early
