How the day works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Late May in Rowsham has light until about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
