How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In summer, Wolverton Common has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
