Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

The process

- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
