What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Autumn and winter afternoons in Lane End get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We confirm the space.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
