Broad Oak questions
How far is Broad Oak from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Broad Oak?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
In the garden or car park, agreed with the manager.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
