Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In late September, sunset in South Mundham is about 7:05pm; in December, about 4:00pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Contact us when the date is set.
- We confirm the space.
- We cook on site.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
