How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In December, daylight in Sutton Common ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We cook at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people

- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any dietary needs or allergies

- Which meats and sides you’d like
