What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In December, daylight in Sevenscore ends around 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 confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
