How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Sunset in West Hougham is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Give us a contact number for the day
