How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. Evening events in Frimley have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Have a level space ready for the pans
