Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Ashington ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
