Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Most wakes in Eden Park are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, though in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- 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 roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
