The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. A lunchtime Christmas party in Allhallows is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:50pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
