Shoots in South Oxhey frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will agree where we set up, often with council permission. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Summer shoots near South Oxhey have light until about 9:25pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.

- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
