- A named contact at base
- Access agreed with locations
- A level area at base

The process

- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Name a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
