For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-September sunset in Plastow Green is about 7:10pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.

- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
