How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Because the roast starts early, and in December Chapel Row is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
