The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-September sunset in Slindon Common is about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
