What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In summer, Temple 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.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Preparing for the day
