How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Late-December sunset in Puttenham is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.

- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.

Before we arrive
