How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In late May, sunset in Ufton Green is about 8:55pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
