How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Winter afternoons in Wraysbury are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- 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.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
