Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
Give us one contact in production, normally locations or the production office.
China crockery is available on request.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, daylight in Calvert lasts until about 9:25pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

- Fresh carving at the serving station
