How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your crew, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In December, daylight in Donnybrook Quarter ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- 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.
- We pack away straight after service.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
