How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. In December, it’s dark in Winkfield Row by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.

- 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.
