How it works

- 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.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- 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
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Give us a contact number for the day
