How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. By late September, the light in Woodside Park goes at about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.

- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Before we arrive
