Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Request thin slices
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed

The process
When we arrive, 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 summer, Upminster Bridge has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
