How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Around midsummer it stays light in West Town until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Send final numbers in good time
