FAQs for Byfleet
How far is Byfleet from London?
About 20 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Manor Farm?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you come to Byfleet?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
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. Ask and we will check.
Where do you cook at a care home?
Outdoors under cover, on a level spot clear of emergency access and away from opening windows.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What about residents who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A named contact on the day
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- Approval from the home
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- Season and day of the week

- Time on site

Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.

Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The address or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or KT14 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
