How we work in the Helderberg

We arrive about three hours before you plan to eat and site the spit with the wind in mind — in the Helderberg that means false bay pushes a steady afternoon south-easter through somerset west and strand. A whole lamb goes on at 400 g a head and takes four to six hours, so the fire is lit well before anyone arrives. The chef stays with it for the whole cook, carves, serves, then packs down and takes everything away.
