A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In late September, sunset in Horn Hill is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.

- We reply quickly with a price.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
