It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Because the roast starts early, and in December Farthing Green is dark by about 3:50pm, so we may set up under lights.

- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
