How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. In winter, it is dark in Stonymarsh by about 4:00pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you are at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
Getting ready for the day
