The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving.

In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.

- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
