Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. By late September, the light in Peene goes at about 7:00pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Count families and staff too
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Chicken can be added.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- Someone to meet us
- A spot that keeps access clear
