Questions from Niton
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you come out to small places like Niton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
We will serve however suits your residents.
Can relatives eat with residents?
Families and staff are welcome.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen and away from opening windows.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.

Planning the cooking spot

- A level outdoor area
- Seating for residents
Niton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.

What comes off the roaster

Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
We set up under cover in the grounds, following your sign-in and safety rules.
