Questions from Littlestone-on-Sea
Do you come out to small places like Littlestone-on-Sea?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Romney Warren Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
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.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
