How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Autumn and winter afternoons in Sewardstonebury get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We cook on site.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
How to prepare
