How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For a summer hog roast day in Slough Green, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- 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 tidy up and leave calmly.
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Send final numbers in good time
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
