Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Because the roast starts early, and in December Burghfield Common is dark by about 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
