How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Sunset in Marden Beech is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
