The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Pevensey, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
