How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Winnall, 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 clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Send final numbers in good time
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
