A hog roast near Long Hanborough
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In summer, Long Hanborough has daylight until about 9:30pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
