The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Lunchtime bookings in West Wellow are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
