Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Bisley?
Brookwood station, about 1.6 miles south of the centre.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you cover Bisley?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Bisley and Surrey. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Winter afternoons in Bisley are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
