Where the roaster can go in Tatsfield
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A spot that keeps access clear
- Away from opening windows
- Flat ground in the grounds
Tatsfield is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
