Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Where the roaster can go in Nag's Head
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- Flat ground in the grounds
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
As a London location, Nag's Head is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

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.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Request thin slices
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count families and staff too
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
