How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. On a winter shoot near Old Malden, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- 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 roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
