What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By late September, the light in Hulcote goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Think about shelter for your residents
