How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Yarnton, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:30pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
