Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Summer events in Freshwater have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Name a contact for the day
