How the day works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your residents, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Late May in Shooter's Hill has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Think about shelter for your residents
