Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Late-September events in Norham Manor lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
