What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your residents, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In summer, Selhurst has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- 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.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
