Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you have alternatives?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.

We do, with lamb or chicken if you like.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. By late September, sunset near Kenardington is about 7:00pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
