How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Most wakes in Richings Park are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, though in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
