What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Late-December sunset in Clayhill is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:25pm.

- We confirm the space.
- We cook on site.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
