- Planned to your running order
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

- A named contact at base
- Sign-off from the location

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In December, daylight in Shottesbrooke ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
