How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Autumn and winter afternoons in Dagenham Dock get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Let us know about tight access

For planners, venues and organisers

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Keep the alternatives labelled
