Whitemans Green: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Whitemans Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Whitemans Green?
The closest is Haywards Heath station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you cover Whitemans Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Whitemans Green and the rest of West Sussex included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What affects the price in Whitemans Green
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Someone to meet us
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
