How the day works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Autumn and winter afternoons in West Silvertown get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
Before we arrive
