The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. A lunchtime Christmas party in West Studdal is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Let us know about tight access
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
