The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Because the roast starts early, and in December Dedworth is dark by about 3:55pm.
- 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 roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
