How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. A summer party in Hydestile stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat

Catered or do it yourself?
