Uffington questions
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Uffington?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
In the garden or car park, in a spot you approve.
Can relatives eat with residents?
It works well as a day with families; just tell us total numbers.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.

- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
