What happens on the day

- 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.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
