Questions from Petts Wood
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What if our house in Petts Wood has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do gluten-free?

What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you serve at lunch?
Serving time is up to you, lunch or an afternoon event.
Where will the roaster go?
Always outside, in a spot you approve.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
