What else we do in Upper North Dean
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For a summer hog roast day in Upper North Dean, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- 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.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
