Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In late September, sunset in Neithrop is about 7:10pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We clear away discreetly.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
