The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Open days in Upper Basildon usually finish in daylight, though in winter it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your staff
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
