Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In December, daylight in Paynes Green ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to grilling to order, one roast serves everyone together. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
