- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
