A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.

- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Parking close to the house
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment

The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Sunset in Princelett is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.

- 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.
