Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. At midsummer, events in Avon Castle stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:05pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
