Questions from Tidworth
How far is Tidworth from London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Serving time is up to you, lunch or an afternoon event.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
