How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Daytime open days in Church End are rarely affected by light, but in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.

- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
