A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

- Count families and staff too
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.

Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. In summer, South Wimbledon has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. 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.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
