Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. For a staff lunch in Test Valley, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
