What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How do you work out quantities?

For event organisers in Telscombe
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
