Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. On a winter shoot near Westfield, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
