Step by step

- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- 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
