How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-September events in Rushenden lose the light at about 7:00pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- 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
- Let us know about tight access
- Name a contact for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
