What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.

The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.

As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
