How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Late-September shoots near Hindhead lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
