Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Clear of bedroom windows
- Approval from the home
- A named contact on the day
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count families and staff too
- Plan separately for halal if needed
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
