How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. By about 3:55pm in late December, Newhaven is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
