How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Late-September shoots near Upperton lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
