Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For a summer hog roast day in Woodside, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us a contact number for the day
