Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. A lunchtime Christmas party in Heron Quays is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
How to prepare

If a church like St Peter's Church is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening. A winter fair at a school like Seven Mills Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular.
