How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Most wakes in Itchingfield are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, but by late December it’s dark at about 3:55pm.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
