About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Baybridge?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.

Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
