Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. By late September, the light in Norton goes at about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Send final numbers in good time
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
