How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In winter, it’s dark in Westerton by about 4:00pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.

- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
