For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your shoot. Late-September shoots near Glyndebourne lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a 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.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Name a contact for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
Ask for a quote
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: use our quote form.
