The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. By late September, sunset near Kemsley Street is about 7:00pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
