What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Stanford in the Vale are dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
