Kintbury station, about 2.4 miles north-east of the centre.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Count families and staff too
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following the home’s procedures.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.

What else we do in Lower Green
The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In Lower Green, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
