For an evening event in Great Rollright, sunset is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking

It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
