How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Late-December sunset in Littleton is about 4:00pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- 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.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
