The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Shelter for crew
- Flat ground at the unit base
- A contact in production
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we serve

Allergies and dietary needs
Some crew won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Post allergen details at base

Give us one contact in production, generally locations or the production office.
