On the menu are apple sauce, roast pork in rolls or on plates and salads, and we are often booked for celebration-of-life gatherings and gatherings at clubs and pubs.
In Isle of Dogs, a hall with outdoor space is frequently the easiest option, though home can work with a garden and side access. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In winter, it’s dark in Isle of Dogs by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
