The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Sunset in Leadingcross Green in late December is about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
