How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. A lunchtime Christmas party in Soberton Heath is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
