How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Summer evenings in Notting Dale stay light until about 9:20pm, so a garden gathering works well.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- We set up and roast while you are at the service.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
