How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Lunchtime bookings in Ratton Village are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
