How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Autumn and winter afternoons in Burdrop get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- We set up and roast while you’re at the service.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
