What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In winter, it is dark in Radfield by about 3:50pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:15pm.

- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
