The process
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. A summer party in Epwell stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

For event organisers in Epwell
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

- The serving time and how long we’re on site

- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
