How the day 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.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

What’s the nearest station to Round Street?
The closest is Sole Street station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Could you cook in Jeskyns?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can relatives eat with residents?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
