How the day 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. On a winter shoot near Hastingleigh, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
