How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Evening parties in Watermead need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
