Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In December, daylight in North Brixton ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
