A hog roast near Norney
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Norney, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- 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.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

About the food

A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
