Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.

The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Late-September shoots near Telegraph Hill lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
