Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Roast or new potatoes and apple sauce make it a full meal.
For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-September sunset in Weston Otmoor is about 7:10pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Planning help
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- Someone to meet us
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
