Planners, venues and businesses

For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In December, daylight in Flexford ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Gather dietary requirements early
