- 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 leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
