How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Evening parties in Barton on Sea need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
