- Travel to Stanwell
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your residents will smell it long before they see it. In summer, Stanwell has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
