Slow-roasted pork in South Street
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By late September, sunset near South Street is about 7:00pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- 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 away straight after service.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Name a contact for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating

- Access to the cooking area
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
