Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Chearsley?
The closest is Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
Outdoors under cover, on a level spot clear of emergency access and away from opening windows.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
