- A named contact at base
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- A level spot at base for the roaster

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for crew who don’t eat pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. On a winter shoot near Wivelsfield, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
