Tisman's Common questions
How far is Tisman's Common from London?
Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do soft food?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We will share allergen and menu details.
Can families and staff join in?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
In the garden or car park, agreed with the manager.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For a summer hog roast day in Tisman's Common, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- We send a quote.
