The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Autumn and winter afternoons in Green Street Green get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
Getting ready for the day
