The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Steep Marsh, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Let us know about tight access
