Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In late May, sunset in Ashendon is about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
