How the day works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your wake. In late September, sunset in Earlsfield is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.

- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

What else we do in Earlsfield
Common questions in Earlsfield
What if our house in Earlsfield has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in King George's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Is there an alternative to pork?
There are chicken, vegetarian and vegan alternatives. We don’t offer halal meat.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
