The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a summer hog roast day in Meads, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
