For planners, venues and organisers
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By late September, sunset near Somerton is about 7:10pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Think about shelter for your crew
