How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In summer, North Halling has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, 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 serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
