- Flat ground in the grounds
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms

How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In summer, Widmer End has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
