Looking after everyone
Some residents won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Ask about china.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In summer, Lyminster has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
