How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Wootton, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
