The process
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. Late-December sunset in Castle Green is about 3:50pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.

- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
