Common questions in Upper Horsebridge
Which station is closest to Upper Horsebridge?
The closest is Polegate station, roughly 3.9 miles away.

Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide full allergen information for every dish. Stuffing usually contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
