What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In December, Upper Swanmore is dark by about 4:00pm, 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 the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
