How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. By late September, the light in Spelsbury goes at about 7:10pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe 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 someone to meet us on arrival
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
