The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late May in Spurlands End has light until about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
