What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Sevenscore are dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
