What else we do in Woodmansterne
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Post allergen details at base
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We clear our spot after lunch.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In December, daylight in Woodmansterne ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
