How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Late-September events in Finkley lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
