The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. A lunchtime Christmas party in Upham is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
