The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. By late September, sunset near Andover Down is about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
