How the day works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Most wakes in South Street are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, but by late December it is dark at about 3:55pm.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- We set up and roast while you are at the service.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
