How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. On a winter shoot near Broughton, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
