Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. In summer, Westcroft has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
