How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-September shoots near Mill Green lose the light at about 7:10pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Send final numbers in good time
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
