Chilswell questions
How far is Chilswell from London?
About 53 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Chilswell?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
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 bring everything else.
Do you cover Chilswell?
Yes, Chilswell is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
