- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Questions from Buckingham
Is Buckingham close to London?
About 51 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How much room do you 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.
What allergens are in the food?
Every dish comes with allergen information for your team to check.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Prices and what affects them

- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Distance from us
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
