How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. For a staff lunch in Fordingbridge, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:05pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
