How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. On a winter shoot near Newington, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
