The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. On a winter shoot near Salters Heath, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
