How it 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. By late September, the light in Nuffield goes at about 7:10pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Send final numbers in good time
