What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in West Byfleet are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.

- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
