A hog roast near South Croydon
How it 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. Sunset in South Croydon is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
