The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In December, Hungerford is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Send final numbers in good time
