The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. By late September, sunset near Eversley Cross is about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
