How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For an evening party in Chartwell Green, think about light: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
