How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. By late September, the light in Priestwood Green goes at about 7:00pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
