Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Flat ground in the grounds
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
