- Think about children’s portions

- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.

About the food
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Glyndebourne, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
