Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

- Which meats, sides and extras are included
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. In summer, Eddington has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
