How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your crew, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In December, daylight in Soberton ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
