How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Wash Water ends around 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
