How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-September shoots near South Hinksey lose the light at about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
