How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-December sunset in Bordon is about 4:00pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We reply quickly with a price.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Send final numbers in good time
