Common questions in West Heath
How far is West Heath from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like West Heath?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
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.
Where do you cook at a care home?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen and away from opening windows.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Can visitors eat too?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- Away from emergency routes
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
