The roaster cooks in the grounds, well away from ambulance routes. Whether it is staff thank-you lunches and family days with visitors, we can cook apple sauce, thinly carved roast pork and roast potatoes.
Near Littleworth Corner, residents may not get out much, so a hog roast day is a big event. Timings are planned around your care home event, working back from when you want to eat.
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
