What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Late-December sunset in Halton is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We confirm the space.
- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Preparing for the day
