Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-September events in East Anton lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
