The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. At midsummer, daylight in Trolliloes lasts until about 9:15pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Name a contact for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
