What comes off the roaster
Roast pork

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.

We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do we need our own staff?

What allergens are in the food?
Every dish comes with allergen information for your team to check.
Where do you cook at a care home?
Outdoors under cover, on a level spot clear of emergency access and away from opening windows.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In summer, Stockwell has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
