Shoots in Bishopsgate often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position, often with council permission. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In December, daylight in Bishopsgate ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.

- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
