What else we do in St. Ebbes
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. In December, St. Ebbes is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
