Planners, venues and businesses

Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In late September, sunset in Tetsworth is about 7:10pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.

Preparing for the day
