How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Waddesdon are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
