The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In winter, it is dark in Redbridge by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Get in touch when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
