The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, Slindon Common is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Name a contact for the day
