Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-September shoots near Slough Green lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
