The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In summer, South Weston has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
