How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-September sunset in Marcham is about 7:10pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
