How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Autumn and winter afternoons in Berrick Salome get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
