Staff thank-you lunches are another reason homes book us, served between shifts. Typical bookings include day centre lunches and families’ days, serving rotisserie chicken, thinly carved roast pork and halloumi skewers.
Rural homes around North Boarhunt may have plenty of outdoor space, so residents can enjoy the garden while lunch cooks. Our chef carves in front of your residents, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. By late September, the light in North Boarhunt goes at about 7:10pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- You get a clear price.
- We cook in the grounds.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
