Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Count families and staff too
- Request thin slices
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Count residents who need an alternative
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In summer, Hatherden has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
